desmos and ref sheet on Khan Academy
if you are teaching sat math using khan academy, you might want to add desmos and ref sheet to teh broswer window:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sat-math-toolbox-ref-shee/hkflbpkbhdlhikfbophoenepogkpklnf
this extension helps me teach sat math easily to my students with the floating desmos window like on the actual sat test

I’m building an app that turns confusing college concepts into visual explanations would you actually use this?
I’ve always felt like a lot of college material is way harder to understand than it needs to be.
You search something like the chain rule, orbital motion, electric fields, etc. and usually get either:
- a wall of text
- equations with barely any intuition
- a 20–40 minute YouTube video
- or an AI explanation that is technically correct but still hard to see
So I’ve been building SeeThrough, where you type in a concept/question and it generates an interactive visual explanation so you can actually see what’s happening instead of just reading about it.
For example, instead of asking:
“Why do planets orbit the Sun?”
and getting 6 paragraphs explaining gravity, you’d get a visual showing the planet, velocity, gravitational force, trajectory, etc. while the explanation walks you through it.
But I’m obviously biased because I’m building it.
So I want students to tear the idea apart:
Would you actually use something like this while studying?
And more importantly:
What subject/concept have you tried to learn where you thought, “I wish someone would just SHOW me what’s happening”?
Math? Physics? Chemistry? CS? Economics? Something else?
I’m looking for concepts to test SeeThrough on, so give me the hardest/weirdest one you can think of.
