What is Desmos

The implementation of technology into the mathematics classroom results in increased academic achievement and a higher level of critical thinking skills in students in grades 9-12. Desmos, a rather new mathematics specific technology, provides students with multiple representations of mathematics, thus promoting a higher level of achievement amongst students. The aim of this chapter is to review the current literature regarding different technologies that support students learning of mathematics, as well as review the best practices for educators to implement the technology into the classroom. In addition, this chapter will compare and contrast a variety of technologies to discuss the best evidence-based practices for the teaching and learning of mathematics.
