Using Desmos Classroom for Pre-Class Activities within the Flipped Classroom Model

Abstract

Pre-class activities are an essential component of the flipped classroom model, which proposes reorganizing the traditional teaching sequence, creating a space for initial knowledge acquisition prior to class and using class time for consolidation and application. In the Mathematics 1 class for Architecture students, pre-class activities were designed as part of the implementation of the flipped classroom model. This study aims to analyze the suitability of the Desmos Classroom platform as a tool for the design, implementation, and evaluation of these pre-class activities. To this end, the design and analysis of the results obtained from pre-class activities for four class sessions are presented. The findings demonstrate the usefulness of the Desmos Classroom platform, highlighting its accessibility, its versatility for designing interactive and personalized activities, as well as its ability to monitor student progress.
