It is a great way to organize lessons during hybrid teaching.

I used to be the old-fashioned type of person who only likes physical calculators. I felt that they helped me learn and understand more. That is until I began using Desmos for myself and my students. Not only does Desmos have a graphing calculator function, but there are many other types of math tools and resources that improve student learning and success. I used Desmos as a student and continue to do so as a substitute teacher. Students of all ages now use Desmos, so I have become very familiar with the application and administering it to students of all ages since I have been substitute teaching. The students even have the app downloaded on their computers/iPads. I have also downloaded the app to help with student learning as well as the times that I need to solve or assist with math problems. The part I like most about Desmos is that it is accessible and applicable for both students of all ages and teachers.

As an AVID tutor, the thing I found most helpful about Desmos is that anyone with a computer can use it. Instead of explaining how to do a function or formula on whichever calculator each individual student has or uses in class, I was able to use Desmos as the standardized calculator in my tutor groups.
