Need Some Math During School Closings?

I'm learning to use Desmos and I've created a few activities kids can try out at home. The activities below vary in difficulty (generally the lower they are in each bulleted list the more advanced they are). However, if you treat them as fun explorations (and don't worry so much about the answer) and your child is engaged, then there's nothing wrong with exploring any of them with most ages.

Disclaimers and Directions for Parents/Guardians/Families

1. Your child's answers may be shared with my undergrads and/or others

2. You can click "Join" without signing in if you want—feel free to makeup a name if you don't want to use your real one

3. You may want to type for your child—the typing should not be a barrier to the math thinking

4. These are more about exploring and having fun than they are about getting the right answer. Feel free to ask questions like "what do you think?" or "can you tell me how you thought about that?" Children can skip forwards and backwards if they want and don't have to answer all the questions.
