Friday Five for March 25
Many people around the world celebrate Easter this weekend. A much smaller
number of people celebrate the arrival of sale-priced Peeps, which are
inexpensively obtained only after the holiday, to be used
for the purposes of mathematics. We have at least one of these latter types on the teaching faculty here at
Desmos, so be sure to tweet us (or maybe just
him) if you find an
especially good deal!
In the meantime, if you’re not on spring break next week (we sure aren’t!), we have some great stuff you might consider working into your lesson plans. Science (!), logarithms, geometry and modeling—all making up your Friday Five.
Friday Five for March 18
The Friday Five is still wearing its Desmos green after a busy week of celebrating π, basketball, and shamrocks. We’ve got algebra activities galore this week. Cereal, hoops, fencing, and pure graphing joy form the bases for the latest Activity Builder activities for your classroom. Click through and get a head start on next week’s lesson planning!
Your Pre-Pi-Day Friday Five
Good people of the Internet, are you not aware that this year’s approximation of π is marginally BETTER than last year’s? Where are the T-shirts and Facebook posts? Well it’s not too late for you to make your plans to adhere to this quirk of the American calendar notation system. We’ve got a few Desmos circle-based activities collected at the end of this week’s post.
In the meantime, we also have five new activities hot off the Des-presses.
