Desmos - By Samiyah Chowdhury
After attending a webinar hosted by Tom Button and Natalie Vernon, I have certainly understood their excitement in using Desmos in the classroom. Technology is the way for this generation, and is a great tool that can enhance student learning and engagement in the classroom. It transforms the way students understand mathematical concepts and the way mathematical concepts are visualised.
What is Desmos?
During the webinar we were first asked if we had used Desmos before and what for. If I was to ask the question again to you I am sure you would mention graphs somewhere, just like the rest of us attendees in the webinar. However, Desmos can be used for statistics and probability too! The dynamic use of Desmos shows us how we can use it in a range of different Mathematical topics. Desmos provides an excellent scaffolding tool for teachers so that students can understand complex concepts and is accessible to all year groups.
