From ALLISON.DUNCAN at canyonsdistrict.org Mon Jul 26 14:30:15 2021 From: ALLISON.DUNCAN at canyonsdistrict.org (Duncan, Allison) Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2021 20:30:15 +0000 Subject: [CSD Math MS] ISD: Derivita Message-ID: Secondary Math Teachers, This email contains information about the Canvas Application Derivita (information and action) Derivita Hopefully you are reading this on August 9th. But if you like to work over the summer, I hope this email will be beneficial to you. As some of you may know, last spring Canyons was looking into purchasing a new Canvas application, that was recommended to us by secondary math teachers, that had all the great features of My Open Math and Desmos in one application: Derivita. GREAT NEWS: the purchase has been approved and Derivita is now officially ours! (cue confetti!) MORE GREAT NEWS: we have also paid for ?Canyons Homework Libraries? that are aligned to our curriculums to be created so that teachers don?t have to spend hours creating questions and homework assignments. (cue balloons!) EVEN MORE GREAT NEWS: Derivita will be training teachers on this application during District Day on August 10th. Rachel and I are so excited for this new application to be available for teachers to use in their classrooms and in their canvas courses. While My Open Math and Desmos were awesome reasources, we feel Derivita will meet the technology/online needs of teachers that MOM and Desmos could not. ACTION: Math Leads/Dept Heads please make sure your new hires get this information. We hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and we?ll see you all on August 10th!

Good Evening Number Talks Book Study Participants, I am excited to share with you that we (USBE) have secured a collaboration between the authors of Making Number Talks Matter, Cathy Humphries and Ruth Parker and Davis School District to bring the first ever Number Talks Institute to Utah Secondary Mathematics Educators! This 1.0 USBE Credit Hour course will begin August 17/18th (with an initial kick-off) and then meet twice a month until December. Since you are registered for and have completed or are working to complete Cathy and Ruth?s Making Number Talks Matter book, I wanted to give you the first opportunity to register before I open it up to the entire Utah Secondary Mathematics community later this week (space in the first cohort is limited and will be given on a first come, first served basis). Please consider attending and share widely with colleagues! [cid:image001.png at 01D78241.D0132640] Registration here Please let me know if you have any questions!
