I like how I can monitor and help individual students. Kids love the interaction with the program and each other. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957172340 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957173978 It grabs students' attention. It gives a good conceptual foundation for the math. Students can "see" the math at play. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957173978 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957178471 The curriculum dos a nice job introducing concepts in a non-traditional way. The pacing is great. I pace and pause at appropriate times and have whole-class discussions. I like using the paper versions to give kids a break from the computers. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:28:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957178471 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957179765 I like the creative ways Desmos brings math to life. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957179765 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957181036 Students like the interactive experimental slides. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957181036 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957185243 High level of engagement for students. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957185243 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957195341 I feel like the interactive activities are video game like, which really attracts the students. I am able to differentiate with the problem sets. I like the tools such as anonymize, pause, and pace. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957195341 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957197873 Students like the homework because it is short and I like it because it shows which students are having trouble. ]]> 2021-12-20 15:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957197873 pcrowley4 https://padlet.com/pcrowley4/xblbjor4epntixg/wish/1957215730 I like that it gives students hands on examples.
