Desmos Classroom products (Classroom Activities, Activity Builder, Computation Layer and the Desmos Math 6-A1 Program) are now part of Amplify Education. For the most current Desmos Classroom help center resources please visit Amplify's help center. The most accurate version of this specific article can be found here.
Step 1: Pick an Activity

Visit teacher.desmos.com, scroll down to the featured activities, and pick an activity (we highly recommend Floats and Anchors and DinoPops).

Step 2: Assign the Activity

Once you select an activity, hit the Assign button. Here you'll have two options: 1) Assign to Your Classes or 2) Single Session Code. If you already have your class set up, select option 1. If you're just getting started, we recommend option 2.

Step 3: Share It With Your Class

Once you create your code, find your activity's teacher dashboard by scrolling down to Activity Sessions and selecting View Dashboard. You can either share the invitation link or the 6-letter code for students to join on student.desmos.com.

Step 4: Teach Your First Lesson With Confidence

Now you're ready to start teaching. Start your first lesson with confidence, knowing that Desmos is here to support you each step of the way as you guide students to aha moments and celebrate their brilliant thinking.

Students will learn by interacting with mathematical representations, illustrations of the world, and their classmates. They'll represent their developing ideas with sketches, text responses, card sorts, number responses, multiple choice, and more.

Click Student Preview on any activity to experience it as a student.

Teachers will learn about their students from the teacher dashboard, which you can access after you assign the activity.
Learn more about using the Teacher Dashboard.
The most common ways to find an activity are:

1. Finding out about one from a helpful colleague in person or online.

2. Looking through featured collections on teacher.desmos.com.

3. Searching for an activity on teacher.desmos.com.

You can create collections to organize activities you'd like to run with your students. When you find an activity, press the + button and select one of your collections.
Learn more about searching for activities.
Create classes to assign activities to the same group of students throughout a school term. Students will use an invitation code to join the class at the beginning of the term.
Learn more about creating classes.
Once you've created your classes, go back to the activity page and assign the activity. Your dashboard will be empty until students join.

When students log in on student.desmos.com, they will see any new activities you've assigned to the class.
Learn more about Desmos Student Accounts.

There is so much data in the world. Recently getting that data into the Desmos graphing calculator has gotten a lot easier.

Formerly, if you had a bunch of data that you wanted to get into a table in order to analyze it in the graphing calculator, you had two choices:

1. Transcribe the data yourself, or

2. Copy and paste a maximum of 50 data pairs from a spreadsheet

Now, thanks to a couple off small tweaks, that 50-pair limit has been lifted*.

In this activity, students consider left and right limits-as well as function values-in order to develop an informal and introductory understanding of continuity.

In this delightful and challenging activity, students will transform lines so that the marbles go through the stars. Students will test their ideas by launching the marbles and will have a chance to revise before trying the next challenge.

This activity will help students make the transition from one-variable representations (e.g., number lines) to the TWO-variable representation of the coordinate plane. Students will watch 15-second videos and translate them into graphs with your help. Special thanks to Adam Poetzel (@adampoetzel) for his videos. (Used under CC-BY license.)

In this activity, students will sort quadratic equations into various piles based on selected characteristics. Students will be challenged to find multiple ways to sort the equations. Cards may be sorted according to the following characteristics: Equation Format; Coefficients; Transformation Direction, Number of Zeros, and more!

Has students working between vertex, standard, and factored form of quadratics

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In this activity, students work through a series of scaffolded quadratic graphing challenges to develop their proficiency with standard, vertex, factored, and other quadratic function forms.

Graphing the Sine Function using Amplitude, Period, and Vertical Translation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Students will build a visual understanding of amplitude, period, and phase shift in this introduction to trigonometric graphing. They will use this understanding to find models for given graphs of the sine function.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In this activity, students use their existing understanding of translations, reflections, and rotations to complete a round of transformation golf. For each challenge, their task is the same: Use one or more transformations to transform the pre-image onto the image. We recommend you solve the challenges yourself before assigning this activity.

Burning Daylight * Activity Builder by Desmos

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In this activity, students use sinusoids to model daylight data for two US cities (Fairbanks, AK and Miami, FL). They predict which city has more total daylight during a given year, and then use their model to calculate an answer to that question. (They may be in for a surprise!)

Fun way to practice the vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
With Polygraph, Desmos provides tools for developing informal language into formal vocabulary. Because words should result from a need to describe our world-this is where they gain their power.

In this activity, students will work with special right triangles.
