Learn as You Go
Another way to get comfortable with Desmos is simply by using Desmos. Our tools’ built-in resources help you learn while you create.
Explore galleries of premade example graphs in the Graphing Calculator, Geometry Tool, and 3D Calculator. Each example visualizes a common mathematical concept that you’re free to tweak, study, or build off with your own ideas.
Find these examples near your saved graphs inside the tools. Get started with a few favorites.
- Graphing: Trigonometry: Unit Circle
- Geometry: Pythagorean Theorem
- 3D: Conic Sections: Hyperbola
For a more interactive experience, take a guided tour in the Graphing Calculator or embark on a quest in 3D to practice the tools’ key features. Select Help in the Graphing Calculator to find a tour.
Scavenger Hunts
Test your skills by working through a list of sample tasks. Each scavenger hunt includes solutions for checking your learning (or in case you get stuck!).
Find the hunt for your tool of choice.
