Online Calclulator using iPad

I am looking for authentic learning artifacts and strategies around the use of the online calculator and the one I am using is Desmos. Is there a online calculator that works better then Desmos on the iPad as my students all have a iPad. What are some ways that you have integrated an online calculator into Mathematics curriculum with the iPad?

I work with math preservice teachers during their student teaching semester, and I've seen them use Desmos on iPad with great success. Last semester, one of my interns just started with the already built lessons available on the Desmos website, and as she gained confidence working in Desmos, she started creating her own lessons that integrated authentic word problems to practice math skills. I loved that she was able to access formative assessment data in real-time during her lessons. This cut down on re-teaching and allowed for just-in-time adjustments.

If you wanted to try your hand at using Numbers, there are a couple of posts in the Forum that talk about how it can be used in high school STEM subjects; not sure what grade level you're working with...

Best of luck as you continue developing your work with online calculators. I'm sure others will chime in with additional ideas in the comments as well!
