Wait, another NEW SIM!
Our classic Calculus Grapher is now in #HTML5, with multiple new features, like the ability to explore tangents, area under the curve, and a predict mode.
Check it out!!

Call for student volunteers!
We interview students with every new sim to improve the design. Know anyone grades 6-12 interested? Ss are paid for their time, & get to play with new sims! US-based only at this time.

Please spread the word if you or someone you know is interested in working with and leading a passionate team of engineers and designers who love to create free simulations for teaching math and science topics! jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDe…
New PhET sim coming very soon!! We often think about subtraction as an operation- "taking away." Another way to think about subtraction is the distance between two numbers- super helpful for future slope and distance formulas!
Join me today! This one is especially for K-2 teachers and building early number sense. Looking forward to another great conference at #NCTMAnnual !
Join @McGarryMath April 29th 3-4 ET session 402 at #NCTMAnnual for her talk:
Engage and Empower Early Learners using Interactive Simulations
Engage all learns to build up number sense, compare representations, and reason about math when using PhET.

So many incredible things about RBG but I'll never forget her powerful dissent to decision gutting Voting Rights Act
