Explore math with desmos.com, a free online graphing calculator I have used Desmos not only in my lessons as a point of references, but I have given students the opportunity to complete a linear equation project using Desmos to create a picture.

I love that it has an app so my students can still graph for free, at home!

I completely agree. Most of my students cannot afford the TI-83 graphing calculators, but almost all of them have smartphones that would allow them to use this app for free. I will definitely be showing this to my classes, although they probably won't be as excited as I was about it!

I like this app. This would have definitely helped me when I took Algebraic Concepts for my undergrad content course. Sure, my class website had a graphing calculator tab that I could use for homework. But I found it really difficult to navigate and very hard to see. If I was still taking that class, I would definitely share it with my classmates, because as you mentioned alexamoore621 TI-83 calculators are pricey. Although, now that I think about it, it would be hard to convince my professor to let us use it in class...he had a no cell phone use during exams, even if the phone had an app.
