Desmos Classroom is the classroom-activity environment now developed within Amplify alongside free Desmos math tools. Teachers facilitate sequenced interactive activities and monitor student thinking in real time while students manipulate representations, explain reasoning, and compare approaches. Student constructions and explanations capture thinking within a particular activity. Teachers connect those live responses with class discussion and subsequent work.
