The First and Most Comprehensive SAT-Oriented Desmos Course
Let us show you how to use the Desmos graphing calculator to rapidly solve problems on the Digital SAT
We begin at the Beginning, but You Can Dive In Anywhere
You’ll learn everything you need to know about using Desmos on the Digital SAT, starting with the nuts and bolts, but if want to get right to the worked examples, jump right into any topic and explore the course however you like
All the Details, Explained and Illustrated
We don’t just tell you how to use the tools in Desmos; we show you, with clear, well-marked pictures of just what you’ll see in the Desmos user interface
Includes Hundreds of Interactive Live Graphs
This isn’t a text book that just sits there, or a bunch of videos that show you someone else using Desmos—it’s an interactive experience that includes hundreds of carefully-crafted interactive live Desmos graphs
Hundreds of Example Digital SAT Problems, Solved
The course methodically goes through every type of Digital SAT problem for which you can use Desmos, with each topic containing realistic example problems and live Desmos graph solutions
Learn How to Solve Complex Problems Rapidly
Every example problem is accompanied by one or more live interactive Desmos graphs along with detailed explanations
Every Essential Desmos Feature is Patiently Explained
The course focuses specifically on those features of Desmos you need to know to quickly solve any Digital SAT math problem while not piling on information you don't need
