One of the added benefits when I prep for doing a @Desmos PD for a school, is it forces me to play with all the tools and I always learn new stuff. This is my new favorite link, all the supported functions for all the tools.

I solve a problem about coincidence, but really it's about problem solving and bakes in some stuff about mathematical thinking, creativity, and communication.

How great it was to enjoy Yvonne Lai’s virtual talk at @MoMath1 this evening! Purposeful listening, joy in mathematics - so much to think about. And ellipses under the taxicab metric!!?!! Thank you @bikewithwings
As we debate the role of calculus — the supposed pinnacle of hs math and on-ramp to stem, can we at least agree that way too many hs JUNIORS are taking calculus? So much lost along the way…and I say this as someone who teaches a HS version of multi variable. #iteachmath
