Friday Five for August 12
The Friday Five is enjoying the idea of the
Perseid meteor shower this week, if not the reality (the Friday Five has nothing but clouds overhead). If
it’s clear tonight where you live, get out there and enjoy! Unless you’re too
busy doing math, that is!
Here’s the math you could be doing as you prep for next week’s teaching (or next month’s teaching, depending on school schedules where you live!) Four activities plus one amazing graph that is the product of a delightful collaboration constitute this week’s Five.
Friday Five for August 5
Back to school is still only an idea for the Friday Five, but it understands
that back to school is very real and happening (or even has happened) for
subsets of its constituency. We just can’t all seem to agree on when the
school year starts and ends. But we can all agree that five new or revamped
activities are a great thing, can we not?
Here they are. Be sure to read to the end this week, and get ready to demo some cool new features that we’re only beginning to play with!
Friday Five for July 29
The Friday Five is most definitely NOT in a summer slumber. Nor is it just chilling by the pool with an ice cold lemonade. Nope. The Friday Five has been busy this summer and brings you not five activities but five features! So find a lawn chair, make yourself comfortable, and read on.
Give the teachers the tools they need to make their work better, easier, and more awesome. If that isn’t an official, written-in-stone principle here at Desmos, it’s certainly a theme that underlies all of our work.
Today we are pleased to announce a collection of tools and design decisions that reflect some of our recent, exciting work on this theme.
