Math Links for Week Ending Oct 7th, 2022

Featured Links

I really love Desmos Challenge Creator. I have ever since they first came out. The ability for students to create their own problems and then have those problems available to the rest of the class to do (like a home grown worksheet but better because your friends made the questions). Up until recently, anyone could run an activity that had a Challenge Creator in it but the average Desmos user couldn't build their own (they couldn't even make a copy of an activity with a Challenge Creator). As a Desmos Fellow, I had the ability to build my own and now everyone does. So if you are the kind of teacher that likes to build their own activities, you can now include Challenge Creators in your portfolio. And if you are interested, here is a collection of mine and others that I have collected to get you started.

From #NCTMLA22 on Saturday I saw @BobLoch and although I met him at a Desmos Fellows weekend, his talk was all about stories dealing with probability. Great stuff.
