Demolishing Difficult Questions Using Desmos

Ever looked at a difficult Math question and thought, “Where do I even start?” What if you could use Desmos to turn that intimidating question into something you can actually solve?

In this class, you’ll learn powerful Desmos problem-solving strategies that can help you tackle challenging questions faster and more confidently. This is not a basic “how to use Desmos” class. Instead, you’ll learn how to think strategically with Desmos.

We’ll work through carefully selected difficult problems and discover how graphs, sliders, intersections, tables, regression, and other Desmos features can reveal solutions that may be difficult to spot using traditional methods alone.

You’ll learn how to:

• Visualize complicated mathematical relationships

• Quickly test and eliminate possibilities

• Find and verify solutions

• Recognize when Desmos can save significant time

• Combine graphical and algebraic thinking

• Develop strategies for unfamiliar questions

The class is especially useful for SAT Math students.

Come with a willingness to experiment and leave with a completely different way of looking at difficult Math questions.

Don’t just solve difficult questions. Demolish them with Desmos.
