Exciting updates are coming for Desmos Math 6–A1!

As you return to school in 2023, Desmos Math 6–A1 will be releasing new and exciting features that save you time, extend your reach, and support you with delivering grade-level math to all students.

Collaborate on collections

We love connection and creativity for students and teachers. Now, teachers can work together to collaboratively create collections of activities. Get your whole department involved! To get started, find the dropdown menu in your collection and select “manage editors.” Add as many editors as you want, then dive in.

Algebra 1 is now available

Students can now meet the complete cast of Algebra 1 characters, from Shelley the Snail to Carlos’s fish, while deepening their understanding of algebraic relationships, functions, and statistics. 

Hablamos español!

The full Desmos 6–A1 curriculum is available in Spanish. To access, click on the globe icon in the top right-hand corner and select Español (LATAM). 

Beautiful new design updates

We’ve updated the appearance of our entire digital platform to provide a cohesive experience for users across Amplify and Desmos Classroom. We’re continuing to improve accessibility while considering use of color, contrast, font sizes, text spacing, and hierarchy. These exciting navigation updates will mean an updated look and feel. You’ll still be able to access every feature you know, plus more!

New features you can add to your lessons

Using Polypad inside Desmos Math 6–A1 activities is easy—just add a Polypad component! You can start by creating Polypad content, or easily importing pre-made Polypad content.
