TTL2 Lesson 2
- This example of student work show how CueThink is used to solve and share
the same problem in different ways. Students are encouraged to understand
the problem by noticing, wondering, and estimating. Students are able to
choose the question they are going to answer.
FluidMath from the book:
- Students and teachers can create, solve, graph, and animate math and
physics problems in their own handwriting in a very easy way. Teachers
can create dynamic instructional materials for the classrooms while
students can understand concepts in math.
FluidMath is a tool for teachers and students whose main purpose is to create,
solve, and graph math problems through handwriting recognition. The program is
available on the web, as well as on tablets and interactive whiteboards. In addition to
the main app where students can manipulate equations and graphs, there are
"game" apps for students to independently practice addition, subtraction, and
multiplication facts.
-FluidMath allows you to graph, create sliders, animations and tables from
handwritten maths. It also can be used to solve inequalities and equations.
FluidMath can handle plotting coordinates to graphing asymptotes, logarithmic and
trigonometric functions, equations and inequalities. You can graph a number of
functions on the same axes- great for teaching simultaneous equations, intersection
of functions, perpendicular slopes etc..
Desmos from the book:
- The Desmos tool is great for teaching about graphs. They offer a free
graphing calculator that can be used by students all over the world for
free. It is even accessible for visually impaired students. In addition to
the calculator, they also offer more than one hundreds digital activities
such as small math games.
Desmos is a free online graphing calculator created by Dan Myer and Eli Luberoff.
The calculator can be downloaded as an app to numerous devices including phones,
iPads, and other handheld devices. Desmos is changing the mathematics
classroom. For decades handheld graphing calculators have dominated in the
mathematics classroom. Now Desmos offers an entirely free app that is relatively
easy for students and teachers to learn. The Desmos graphing calculator has much
of the features of a handheld graphing calculator. Basic operations are computed.
Functions and non-functions can be graphed without changing the mode.
Trigonometric functions can be utilized in both radians and degrees. Regression
equations can be calculated.
- Desmos understands function notation too! This can be very useful for
teaching transformations and compositions of functions. For example, you can
define f(x), then graph or 2f(x - 3). If you’ve also defined g(x), then you can
graph f(g(x)).

Using the BookWidgets Reporting Dashboard, teachers can efficiently grade and
review students’ work. Teachers may provide immediate feedback once answers are
submitted. Thus, students are able to immediately identify their strengths and
weaknesses.
Mathaliciuos creates lessons that explore the math behind real-world topics, from
sports to shopping to the odds of finding life on other planets. These lessons put
teachers and students in a position to have interesting conversations that foster a
classroom culture of curiousity and rigorous mathematical thinking.
- Teachers who use Mathalicious lessons say they enjoy their jobs more, and
that their students look forward to coming to class. Imagine that. Every
Mathalicious lesson is aligned to the Common Core State Standards. In fact,
most lessons connect multiple content standards, and help build deep
conceptual understanding through real-world contexts.
At the same time, we help teachers realize the Standards for Mathematical Practice
by promoting higher-order thinking and problem solving. Mathalicious lessons
challenge students to construct arguments, justify their reasoning, and use
mathematics to think more critically about the world.
