Although it's not required, we suggest that students sign into a Desmos account before accessing a Desmos activity at student.desmos.com. When students sign in, they'll have the option to resume and view their work after leaving the activity.
Students can still participate in an activity without signing into their Desmos accounts but will not be able to resume their progress after they leave.
Creating a Free Account
Students need an activity link or invitation code to create an account.
Once they have clicked that link or entered that code in student.desmos.com, they can create an account the same way a teacher can - through an existing Google account, or by creating a new Desmos account using a different email.
Accessing Previous Activities
If students are logged in when they visit student.desmos.com, they will see up to ten previous activities along with a link to View More. Clicking on an activity takes them back to resume their work.
Logged-in students can also see if their teacher has left any new written feedback on previous activities.
Note that teachers may have chosen to activate Activity Permissions - students awaiting approval will be able to participate in all activities, but social features (like seeing other student responses) will be hidden until a teacher or co-teacher grants permissions.
Student Data and Privacy
The privacy of personally identifiable student information is very important to us. Please see our Student Data Pledge for details and information about our privacy policies.
We also have data privacy agreements with school districts across several states and are happy to work with your school to get an agreement in place. Please email us at privacy@desmos.com for more information.
