Desmos

I just came across this outstanding math resource and I couldn't wait until the end of the week to share it with everyone. 

Desmos is a free graphic calculator website that not only works on a Windows machine, but also on a Mac, and on an iPad even without having to download the app! This website can easily replace the good old TI-83 calculator for many people. I mean, come on, imagine a world where a math teacher doesn't have to budget $537 for batteries for their classroom set of calculators!

Another great part of Desmos is that it has many of the formulas pre-made so that students can use them to see how numbers interact within a formula and experiment. Before I started checking out this website I could not remember how changing the 5 in y=5x+9 would change anything, but now I am a Slope Intercept formula master!

What to see more on how to use Desmos? Check out my brief tutorial below. Hint, if you pay close attention at the end you can see what I am having for dinner tonight.
