What We Learned about Math, Teaching and Technology While Building Desmos

April 18, 2023

For the last ten years, Desmos has worked to help students learn math and love learning math. We are at a pivotal moment as colleagues, as is Global Math Department, so several of us wanted to offer a reflection on what we’ve learned about math, teaching, technology, and work of education. Join us for a series of presentations and a Q&A afterwards.

Presenters: Dan Meyer, Eli Luberoff, Faith Moynihan and Stephanie Blair

Street Data from Implementing Building Thinking Classrooms in Middle School

April 4, 2023

This is a story of a coach and a teacher moving from playing with non-curricular tasks last spring to implementing the BTC framework regularly with curricular tasks this year. Our journey is not over, but our street data are showing a powerful shift toward a thinking classroom. As students begin to view each other as sources of knowledge, we are seeing transformations in the role of the teacher and in the mathematics identities of students. I will share one teacher’s process, as well as resources she has developed along the way. You will have the opportunity to analyze student reflections and join us in crafting next steps.
