Friday Five for June 3
The Friday Five is thinking big this week, and maybe providing you a little
summer curriculum planning assistance as a result. Five activities this week,
each connected to other activities. Think of each as a prix fixe menu where
the prix is free.
Announcing the Desmos Teaching Fellowship
We have just three full-time teaching faculty members at Desmos. We receive much more interest in our trainings and webinars than the three of us can possibly meet on our own. So we’ve created the Desmos Teaching Fellowship to help meet that demand.
We’ll bring a small group of teachers and coaches to the Desmos HQ on an all-expenses paid trip over Veteran’s Day weekend to a) create community, b) learn from each other, c) learn more about Desmos and how our faculty works with teachers. At the end of that weekend, some of the Teaching Fellows will be invited to continue and help teachers learn how to use our tools on a paid, part-time, and flexible basis.
Helping great people learn how to use great technology. Sounds interesting, right? Click on through to the application. It’s due June 30.
Friday Five for May 27
The Friday Five is
flattered this week, not jealous or litigious. Also it is ready for summer, which—depending on
whom you ask—has already begun, begins this weekend, begins next month, or
doesn’t begin until December. Your pick. While you’re puzzling that out, the
Friday Five will be reclining over here in the shade.
This week: Running, walking, and polynomials with your choice of real or complex roots.
