Presentation Transcript

1. Beginning To Use Desmos in the Classroom Stephen Britton 8thMay 2017

2. How do I use Desmos? Quick demonstration on board, e.g. here is a graph of this function Pre-planned demonstration, e.g. this is how the gradient changes a straight line graph, simultaneous equations, transformations, integrals and derivatives Pre-planned whole class activity, e.g. Marbleslides Students use to check work

3. What Will We Do Today? Create an account to save work Explore some default graphs that are useful for quick planning Learn how to create basic graphs See how a whole class activity is run Create our own activities using the Desmos activity building tools

4. Getting Started Either using the app or www.desmos.com, create a free account so you can save your work Now play with some of the default graphs: Choose one you like the look of!

5. Basic Graphing Lines, quadratics, etc, intersections (restrictions) Points Sliders - transformations Functions such as sin, cos, tan https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yh2vb4hjvd Inequalities Parametric form Functions https://www.desmos.com/calculator/jsqwyphg59 Tables and regression Data functions

6. Creating and Running Activities https://teacher.desmos.com/bookmarked - running a class activity Go to student.desmos.com https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/58e0cf6b0c86 9a4d7b955fb2 Now try to build your own: teacher.desmos.com

7. Some good activities that already exist You can search for pre-existing activities rather than creating your own, e.g. Rotations: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/kohoey3j60 Marbleslide Parabolas: https://teacher.desmos.com/marbleslides-parabolas Mini-golf: https://teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilder/custom/589e5e51e9baeda305df5cf3 Lissajous curves: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/tyjkpwuotb Spirograph: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/m15ffczai2
