Testimonials
“It’s been revolutionary and we can’t imagine teaching without it. We’re seeing so much student success already (and redefining what “success” means to help truly create future world changers).”
— Heather Staniszewski, 7th Grade Teacher, BRSSD
“Desmos has been a lifeboat during Comprehensive Distance Learning. It has allowed us to track engagement and progress of our students.”
— Tara Butler-Kruger, Math Teacher, Bend-La Pine Schools
“For the record, Desmos has saved my life this year. I am so grateful that we signed up. It is the perfect tool for remote learning and my students love it. The anonymizing feature is genius and I value being able to spiral back and forth through the curriculum using pre-unit assessments and all of the other tools that it has to offer.”
— Brendan Smith, Math Teacher, Oakland USD
“I love Desmos. It is the first math core curriculum I have found that matches my belief in math education. I have finally found something that is not a textbook but a true curriculum that enhances how my teachers facilitate instruction.”
— Jennifer Donais, Math Coach, Amesbury Middle School
