I recently spoke with Charlie Stripp about the place of technology and data science in maths as part of the @mathematicala.bsky.social 'Challenges that Mathematics Education Faces' series. You can see the recording (and links mentioned) at www.m-a.org.uk/meet-the-pre...

@desmos.com New(?) feature?!? I've been wanting this for a while and - perhaps I wasn't paying attention - but when an operation on a list containing numbers is entered now, it shows the numbers! I could swear it didn't do this yesterday. Works in 2D, 3D and Geo. #iTeachMath #MathsToday

Wow! @desmos.com now has a new feature that if you take a random sample it shows you the values
