I created a screen that allows students to resize the graph axes, graph points, and add line/curve of best fit. But, as soon as the student goes to the second table in the screen to type their extrapolated data answer from the graph, the graph resets immediately. I cannot find my error. I am including the activity. Thanks for the help.
Yes, it is physically forcing itself on my graph. I have multiple buttons on the page controlling feedback for my students but only after they have answered the question. One of the buttons always attaches itself to the graph and I want it controlling the feedback in the tables. The Graph is a readOnly: true. I finally gave up and replaced the graph with an media component image and was able to move the button where I wanted it.
I tried adding a bunch of tables and buttons with a graph, and never had a problem getting the button to not go to the graph (up to 5 tables + buttons), as long as all the tables + buttons were in the other column. (Screen 1)
My concern was that the button will cover up interesting parts of my graph. I solved that issue by either changing my window values or better yet I added this CL code to my button:
resetLabel: " "
which essentially made the button disappear after it had been pushed.
I've tried searching for something like Desmos (the lines of math 'code' concept) but I didn't succeed. Does someone know a site/app/program that has this feature, but without the graphing area? Or even better: does someone know how to disable the graphing area in Desmos? Since I like the smoothness and workflow of Desmos very much!
I am finding copying graph components tedious because I have been copying one cell at a time.
I know you can copy the url of a graph component and paste it into a new component, but it overwrites the cells already there.
Is there a way to highlight, copy and paste multiple cells at a time?
If the graph component you are copying from has no folders in it, then you can paste it as a folder into a new component that may or may not have folders. If pasted as a folder it will not overwrite what is already there.
Oh, I see, you can paste the URL into the folder note, nice. There is no way to copy folders from the graph component though? How do you make the graph component entries into the calculator page so you can copy the URL?
With a graph component if you edit the graph and go to the bottom you will see edit page of desmos. When you click on that it will open up into a normal desmos graphing calculator. From there you can then copy the link. Easier than retyping or copying line by line. I typically save a few calculators that I might use often like for animating.

Our panel of judges will select 25 featured graphs in each of the four agecategories with at least 5 selections being from first time participants*.Each of the 100 featured artists (25 in each age category) will receive:
As of late I have been using Desmos for a variety of demonstrations. Some of these demonstrations are humbly interactive. It seems to me it could be a nice feature to be able to embed the graph at the link into the answer (as opposed to including a link to desmos).
Just as I am writing this question, one potential negative effect of this implementation could be that the answers could possibly become too dependent on Desmos (e.g. imagine just an embedded Desmos graph as an answer), which is probably not preferable. I try to write my answers in which I use Desmos in such a way that even if the Desmos link goes dead the answer is still useful (or not less useful, at least) (of course link sharing (especially without writing the author and title explicitly and merely writing "this paper" or the link itself) suffers from a similar issue). You'll see in the examples above that at times I was less successful at doing this. I am also trying to figure out the Desmos sharing etiquette along the way of course (which I realized I am doing as I am writing this question).
On Desmos on my browser the graph of $(-1)^x$ fluctuates between plotting barely any points, one almost completely filled in line, and two almost completely filled in lines depending on the width of my browser window. Unfortunately when I tried to show this off in class on another similar computer I wasn't able to get anything to show up (it probably depends on screen resolution!)
Desmos is a free and public-benefit online tool that makes it easy to generate and modify visual representations of mathematical formulas (aka, graphs). It amalgamates and extends the functionality of earlier versions of similar learning technologies like graphing calculators, chart generators, and touch-screen recording devices. Students and instructors find it user-friendly and able to produce complex representations in little time.
Desmos Tools enable you to use a graphing calculator, scientific calculator, or geometry tool to help learn math or visually demonstrate math concepts. You can access Desmos Tools from the eText and Tools panel when viewing assignments that align to algebra or geometry content, or from within a lesson that uses algebra or geometry content.
In May 2022, Amplify acquired the Desmos curriculum and teacher.desmos.com. Some 50 employees joined Amplify. Desmos Studio was spun off as a separate public benefit corporation focused on building calculator products and other math tools.[7]
In May 2023, Desmos released a beta for a remade Geometry Tool. In it, geometrical shapes can be made, as well as expressions from the normal graphing calculator, with extra features.[8] In September 2023, Desmos released a beta for a 3D calculator, which added features on top of the 2D calculator, including cross products, partial derivatives and double-variable parametric equations.[9]
Users can create accounts and save the graphs and plots that they have created to them. A permalink can then be generated which allows users to share their graphs and elect to be considered for staff picks. The tool comes pre-programmed with 36 different example graphs for the purpose of teaching new users about the tool and the mathematics involved.[13]
Another popular use of the calculator involves the creation of graphic arts using equations and inequalities.[14] The calculator also has an audiotrace function, which can be used to make music. As of April 2017, Desmos also released a browser-based 2D interactive geometry tool, with supporting features including the plotting of points, lines, circles, and polygons.[15][16] In May 2023, Desmos released a beta version of a second, more sophisticated geometry calculator.[17] Some of these projects have included features such as 3D via parameterization, and with the use of RGB and HSV coloring introduced in late 2020,[18] artwork with custom coloring, as well as the domain coloring of complex functions. With new performance updates, graphs that include the Mandelbrot set and the Ducks fractal can be made on Desmos. Features such as simulations and tickers also allowed users to create functional interactive games. The usage of these features can be found in Desmos's annual art contest.[19]
