I have to say that I am thrilled to see @Desmos redo Central Park. This was the activity that sold me on Desmos activities but it was built before Activity Builder was a thing so once AB came to be, Central Park couldn't take advantage of all the features that we now love about doing an activity with Desmos (anonymize, pacing, snapshots etc). So enjoy the new version of Central Park and watch the #DesmosLive to get all the details (including a glimpse of some of the original storyboards)

👋 On tomorrow's #DesmosLive, we're saying goodbye to one of these four beloved activities ... and replacing it with a new one.

One of the things that @Desmos has done is try to go beyond math by including things like checkin screens where students can say how they feel. And, of course, that means other people will start to make their own. So I love this checkin screen from @Kristen_Faust where you get to answer "Which Sloth Are You?" Add it to one of your activities todayCurriculum Tags: All

Such a great activity for students are doing work around Pythagorean theorem, distance between points, irrational roots etc

Left #desmoslive with animation and shimmy tips from @von_Oy and added them into our current pursuit of irrational lengths of line. We have been finding lengths in geoboard and it is time to order them. Thanks @desmos team. pic.twitter.com/5Pryiinc0Z

Like millions of viewers who tune into the big game year after year, we *love* Super Bowl commercials. We love them so much, in fact, that we wanted to know everything about them … by analyzing and categorizing them. https://t.co/lAtlQjkMlC

Nicolas Bourbaki was a real-life 19th-century French general who never had anything to do with mathematics. It’s unclear why his name became the pseudonym for a secret society of mathematicians. https://t.co/P77V5PsW4D
