The contents of this page were created in collaboration with Audrey McLaren.
Audrey McLaren
Audrey has been teaching for 35 years, the last 14 of which have been online for LEARN. She is an enthusiastic seeker of best practices for educational technology. She has been a Desmos Fellow since 2018 and in 2012 was a co-winner (with LEARN teacher Peggy Drolet) of iNACOL’s Innovative Online Learning Practice award.
Do you know about Desmos, GeoGebra, and Graspable Math?
Desmos
“Interactive and creative activities for your math class!”
Visit the website: https://www.desmos.com/
GeoGebra
A good way to bring technology into your math classroom. “Free digital tools for class activities, graphing, geometry, collaborative whiteboard and more.”
Visit the website: https://www.geogebra.org/
Graspable Math
Graspable Math is an online tool that enables students to experiment with math and algebra in a whole new way. In this video, Audrey McLaren, an online Math teacher at LEARN explains how she uses this tool with her students.

To the right, you will find an archived webinar with Audrey McLaren online on June 3rd, 2020.
Curated Teaching and Learning Resources
Below you will find embedded google documents containing mapping CST4 concepts to Desmos, GeoGebra and Graspable Math.
Each of the embedded google documents can be found beneath as individual resources. We encourage teachers to make a copy of the google documents for use in their classroom.
