Dancing with Desmos
Draw a quick graphSuppose you want a graph of y = 3x+2Simply go to Desmos and type in your function
That’s it – one graph!
Learning to use Desmos y = 3x+2
Learn about slidersNow suppose you want to explore straight line graphs.Simply go to Desmos and type in your function but this time use variables:
You will be offered the chance to add sliders – select all
Learn about sliders
y = mx+c
Now you have sliders
Try changing them and watch that graph!
Learn about slidersIf you want a slider to have integer values only, select one of the end points:
then you could make the step size 1 for integer values and also change the lowest and highest values if you want
y = mx+c try changing the sliders
Learn about slidersIf you want a slider to have integer values only, select one of the end points:
then you could make the step size 1 for integer values and also change the lowest and highest values if you want
y=mx+c, m and c integers
TablesFirst enter your function
then select edit list
and choose convert to table
Tables
y = 1/x with table
Now try changing the table:Change the first value of xDelete the other rowsEnter a second value of x
....then keep pressing enter
SettingsTry changing the x and y axes
Uncheck Equalize Axis Scales for more control over the axis settings
Experiment with the three show settings to see what happens
Try changing the axes for thequadratic function in the link belowQuadratic - try changing axes
f(x+k)

This year I will ....
Use technology more where it can enhance learning, eg for collabration.
Digital Tools
Do your students communicate in more than one
way?
Do your students collaborate and share ideas?
Digital Tools

Use a greater variety of homework activities.
Homework Ideas
Is it helpful to have the details of any current homework online?
Is it helpful to have the details of any current homework online?
□Yes!□Very helpful□Yes, very□Definitely□Yes, very helpful, especially if you are off□Yes, very good for disorganised people (ie
me) who always forget to write it down!
Homework Ideas
Homework Ideas
• Set some questions with solutions and mark schemes
• Prepare ahead • Revise and Recall • Rich Tasks• Use Online Resources • Vocabulary• Reflective Writing • Collaborate online • Do two!
Homework Ideas
This year I will ....
Give my students clear and frequent feedback.
Feedback Progression
The most powerful single modification that enhances achievement is feedback.The simplest prescription for improving education must be “dollops of feedback”.Hattie, J.A. (1992). Measuring the effects of schooling. Australian Journal of Education (see page 9).
Feedback Progression
Do you give students enough time to reflect?

Writing Things Down□Writing became such a process
of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.
