Families and caregivers, welcome to Amplify Desmos Math 6–12!
Welcome to the Amplify Desmos Math Grade 6–Algebra 2 Caregiver Hub. We’ve designed this space to help you support your student at every stage of their math journey.
In class, your student engages with digital lessons using devices as well as write-in Student Edition books. They also may be assigned digital or print practice outside of class. Below, you’ll find some suggestions and resources for how you can support their learning at home.

Support math learning at home.
You can support your student’s math learning outside of school in many ways:
Relate math to daily activities at home, whether you’re baking, grocery shopping, or planning a trip. Your student can help you calculate the prices when you use a coupon, figure out how to cut a recipe in half, or determine the amount of gas you’ll need to make it to your destination.
Invite your student to walk you through how they solved each problem or talk about any parts that were challenging for them. To encourage the use of math language, consider asking, “How do you know?,” “How can you show your thinking?,” or “How would you describe that?” If students get stuck, consider asking questions like, “What information do you know here?” or “How could you represent this problem?”
Remind your student that getting stuck is part of the process and a necessary—beneficial, even!—part of learning. Many students (and adults) fear making mistakes. But research shows that making mistakes helps our brains grow. When your student gets stuck on a problem, encourage them to keep trying different strategies, even if they’re not sure they’re right.
We hope your student enjoys exploring math, working with friends to solve problems, and learning new and interesting concepts. And we hope you enjoy this exciting math journey with them!
