- 2 Truths & 1 Lie
- Educational Duct Tape Question: "How do I teach mathematical problem solving digitally?"
- "We are coming from a position where we have always taught it without technology, we should give ourselves a lot of grace."
- In-N-Out burger question
- Find similar problems at robertkaplinsky.com/lessons
- Desmos Activity Builder for a real-world problem
- Desmos has pre-built classroom activities, as well as the "Activity Builder" for making your own.
- Use drag-and-drop editing to add content to an interactive slide deck (text boxes, sketches, graphs, etc.)
- Slides can be oneway (providing info to students) or interactive (text questions, drag-and-drop, sketch, card sorts, etc.)
- Can see an overlay view that is similar to what Pear Deck offers
- Teacher.desmos.com
- Desmos Marbleslides
- Desmos can anonymize student names and freeze student screens
- Sliders let students explore elements of problems, patterns, and graphs (for example, changing the m or b in y=mx + b)
- "A lot of the way that we value mathematics in the United States is on getting the right answers quickly and efficiently. As a teacher, I was really good at creating math robots who could get the answers, but really didn't know what they were talking about."
- Focus on real-world problem-solving in mathematics → mathematical modeling
- "It's easy to enter into, but challenging to master and that, I think, is very satisfying in general."
- Open Middle Math
- Find problems on https://www.openmiddle.com/
- Learn why educators' like Open Middle problems at #WhyOpenMiddle
- Open Middle - “Want the Google Slides?”
- Asynchronous use of the Google Slides - a separate set of slides for each kid, but that makes it more difficult to observe their work
- Synchronous - collaborative Google Slides
- Level up - Google Slides with Pear Deck
- The video of Robert using Pear Deck with an Open Middle problem is in this workshop.
