Math Links for Week Ending Apr. 5th, 2019

Featured Links
I am at NCTM this week in San Diego so I think just about everything will be NCTM-centric and so that's why this is a day late. First up, I presented a session called "Data Looks Pretty Good" which was all about interesting data sets that you can look at and/or analyze (using Desmos or CODAP). The slideshow is full to the brim with data sets and extra links enough to keep anyone busy.

Two brand new Desmos features for Activity Builder. First, now you can upload live pictures of student work (eg. that they are doing at their desk on paper) and upload it to your teacher dashboard. Basically what happens is that while  you are in Snapshots you can click a button to email you a special link that will let you upload photos from your phone. Secondly, we can finally organize our favourite activities by creating a Collection. You can create as many collections as you want and add any activity to more than one collection.

There was a lot of sessions discussing ideas around equity and one that I saw was from @LBmathemagician. She spoke about (de)tracking students and I think her talk can be best summed up by @RobertKaplinski's tweet.

I didn't get to this session from @IanKerr_math, @McCormick_Math, and @rweychert but thanks to @Approx_Normal I found out about it. Check out her Twitter thread. Just the hearing about the new (to me) sports stats sites was good enough (Swish 2.0, Spotrac & Statsbomb - plus one that I recently found out about and mentioned in my above talk, Baseball Savant). Make sure you follow the whole thread.

So I have always admired @Dandersod's  http://dailydesmos.com/ site from afar thinking that I couldn't do those things but I went to his session and low and behold, it's not that hard. You can try the Desmos activity here and see for yourself and check the link below for all the other resources.

I saw @mathgarden's session about his and @cbrownLmath new book Math Recess. It's their view that we have to do more playing with math and the book is full of examples how. And as an added bonus, I got a mention in the book because I like to use the word "tinker" with math. Check it out.

I was just blown away by the short session by Stephen Clower (who is blind) and @shapeoperator about how Desmos is helping the visually impaired. Watch and listen to the video below to see how.

I really loved @MathButler and @MrsNewell22's session on Desmos geometry. Lots of great ideas and simple tweaks to what you're already doing.

I realize this is just a picture but I hope you can get the gist of it. To practice dilations you just need two rubber bands.

Check out these two slides from @mathematize4all about students with dyslexia and dyscalculia. The stories from @dylanmlynn and @gelada of how they overcame their LD issues to become awesome mathematicians were great.

It was great to meet @MrsNewell22 and hear about her #MathGals shirts. You should totally get one (or four). The proceeds are all donated so it's totally worthwhile

    The learning process consists of video-based instruction, computer graded assignments and a dashboard which allows the student and parent to track progress.
