The second is the newest one dealing with systems of equations. It starts with the simple idea of finding points on a single line and then moves to finding points on multiple lines but with limited numbers of chances, but with the context of a laser beam to "shoot" the points. So the idea would be that finding intersection points would be the way to go. One thing I like is the constant suggestion to do work on a separate piece of paper.ANOTHER new activity?— Desmos.com (@Desmos) December 13, 2019

If you are looking for a structure to help you move your teaching forward then you might consider the 3-Part framework developed by @MrOrrGeek and @MathletePearce. In this detailed post they go over the history of how they came to their current model (including some of the hurdles they've overcome. You can read the whole post here or download the whole thing (at the bottom of the post).Curriculum Tags: All

A student approached me a few weeks ago about painting the covers on my TI84s. She said it helps her destress. I am a @Desmos math gal all the way, but her work has made the TIs a lot more fun to look at. My students LOVE seeing each installment...#iteachmath #mtbos pic.twitter.com/W8QKHOclCr— Sarah Furman (@SPFurman17) December 19, 2019
I rarely share my story with people, not only because it put me at the lowest point ever but because it made me a person of ridicule among family and friends. I put all I had into Binary Options ($690,000) after hearing great testimonies about this new investment
ReplyDeletestrategy. I was made to believe my investment would triple, it started good and I got returns (not up to what I had invested). Gathered more and involved a couple family members, but I didn't know I was setting myself up for the kill, in less than no time all we had put ($820,000) was gone. It almost seem I had set them up, they came at me strong and hard. After searching and looking for how to make those scums pay back, I got introduced to maryshea03@gmail.com to WhatsApp her +15623847738.who helped recover about 80% of my lost funds within a month.
