Desmos Calculator

 🖩

In Virginia, our students are preparing to take their SOL(Standards of Learning Test).  If you are like me, this last semester brought a lot of change and a lot of new.  I teach middle school and Covid brought many changes to my classroom.  We spent almost the entire semester virtual and switched to a 4x4 schedule.  My students are set to take their SOL in a little over a week, and while all the curriculum has been taught, I still need to show them  how to utilize more than the basics of the calculator.  From talking to my peers, I learned I'm not alone in this area so I started putting videos on my youtube channel explaining how to use the calculator.  I am working to add more as they are requested but these are the ones I currently have.

Blooket Game

  A week ago my students kept asking to play Blooket so I looked into it.  Blooket is much like Kahoot and Gimkit but they earn money.  Blooket has several different game modes and the students LOVE IT.  Once a student has been eliminated they will keep playing to earn more gold which they can use to buy rare items.  Each week Blooket has a theme and those rare items can be bought for the week and then they are gone; the items include accessories or special characters they can play as.  My students will play for hours if we let them.  When we finish a game they are ready for another round.  Blooket has a FREE version which has been enough for my class but you can also upgrade to a paid version.  They have games that are already made or you can create a new game.   My students love the battle royale mode and the gold quest the best.  If you haven't given it a try I would highly suggest it.

Gimkit Tag Domination

  Gimkit came out with a new mode called Tag: Domination.  This is currently one of my students favorite modes(fishtopia is the other).  This game is similar to physical tag.  Students are split into 2 teams.  To earn energy to run and get upgrades, students must correctly answer questions.  The time to tag and run away alternate and students can see which one they are in on the top left of the screen.  At the end, the team with the most tag win.
