Math Links for Week Ending Feb 5th, 2021

Featured Links 

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)

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 today
