[quote=Anonymous]For anyone who doesn't know, Amplify Desmos has a lot of their materials up online so you can see how their lessons tend to work-- see here:  https://classroom.amplify.com/collection/68d58165b21a75b257ae23c2?collections=651ca31cf69ee59aa9e3818a

Select the grade and then select a lesson.  Go down to "screens" to see what the teacher sees and what they are supposed to show and say to the kids.  At the bottom of each screen, there will be a book icon (click to see what the kids see) and a "teacher moves" tab (what the teacher is supposed to be doing), although some screens don't have both.  Some of the "teacher moves" have a "differentiation table" to click on to walk through how to "support," "strengthen," or "stretch" kids for that activity.  For example, the 4th grade [url=https://classroom.amplify.com/activity/682dc6762a13219cceb0f8f6?collections=651ca31cf69ee59aa9e3818a%2C68d58165b21a75b257ae23c2%2C6650c4a6fa7cdf4f86a94106]"Equal Groups of Fractions" lesson[/url] has links to differentiation tables on slides 3, 7, and 12.

Also up at the top of each lesson there should be a clock with "at a glance" that breaks down the timing of the lesson and how much of it is whole group/pairs/etc.  After skimming a few, it seems like Amplify Desmos likes to spend a lot of their lesson time on pair work, with 10 minutes or so of whole group time at the beginning and end.

I have not had time to look very deeply into this, but wanted to share for others' reference.  [/quote]
