My latest project in #Desmos involves making programmed "camera moves" for animations. I often make graphs to show my students something specific. I have been trying to write functions that adjust the window so I can get videos like this. www.desmos.com/calculator/3... #ITeachMath #EduSky

I wanted an animation of endlessly zooming into the real number line to explain to my students the difference between discrete and continuous, so I made this: www.desmos.com/calculator/e... Just in case you find it useful (or mesmerizing!) #Desmos #ITeachMath #EduSky
I was not prepared for how much the cobbler would expand, but I think it turned out nicely ๐ซ
My first reaction to this question is that it's an obvious AI mistake, that frequency and wavelength are two sides of the same coin But I suppose that if the listener is moving relative to the source, a perceived frequency will no longer be associated with its typical wavelength #ITeachPhysics
I think this is the best I've done so far
Here's a #Desmos notebook that introduces the Gaussian function, explains how it combines exponential growth and decay, and includes an interactive demo of a normal distribution. #EduSky #ITeachMath www.desmos.com/notebook/vug...

America is the place that gave us Stevie Wonder, Conan O'Brien, the Hubble telescope, and Star Trek. It has tyrannosaurus rex fossils, the Appalachian mountains, Mammoth Cave, and the Grand canyon. If I was an alien anthropologist or xenogeologist, I would still at least appreciate America.
I tried a Bloody Mary for the first time today. I feel like I'm drinking a crab smoothie. Big mistake
The exponential function e^x is a quintessential growth model because it equals its own derivative (its state equals its rate) www.desmos.com/calculator/n...
I'm experimenting with game-ifying a #Desmos notebook. Just trying stuff out...here's a proof of concept. Are there any mechanics that I'm not using that would be really useful? #ITeachMath #EduSky www.desmos.com/notebook/dd1...

I've been working on this #Desmos notebook for transformations of parent functions. I feel like it could stand some layout improvement but I have to eventually call it "good enough" and move on with my lesson plans ๐ตโ๐ซ Happy to share and I welcome feedback! #ITeachMath www.desmos.com/notebook/bq4...

I had exponential and logarithmic functions separate at first, but decided I could combine them and throw in an exploration of inverse functions as well. This #Desmos notebook will be part of my Algebra 2 curriculum right before Thanksgiving. www.desmos.com/notebook/ukt...

Today, I finished a 7-hour video I've been working on for a week, and a 4-hour video I've been watching since yesterday. Follow me for more tips and inspiration
I used #Desmos to model the path of a shadow across the ground. Since it was partially cloudy, I was able to tell where the shadow WOULD have been if the sun weren't blocked. It also made it possible to identify solar noon without a compass! #ITeachMath
Here's how I used #Desmos to model a shadow's path across the ground on the solstice! You may find this method interesting or useful if you plan to join the MEaSURE Project this September, calculating Earth's radius in a global science experiment. youtu.be/F1Pv80Vwukk

My wife said my drag name should be "Lady Calculus." I said hers should be "T-N-Tanya"

I've been making linear regression activities to print out in Google Sheets for my students, but I'm exploring how I can use #Desmos notebook for that instead. I've worked out something for linear regressions...this one is fun! #EduSky #ITeachMath www.desmos.com/notebook/yva...

Here's a #Desmos notebook I made to support one of my Algebra 2 lessons next September. I think these will be really useful as "digital manipulatives" that students can play with to build intuition. #EduSky #ITeachMath www.desmos.com/notebook/sya...
