How can I embed the texas graphing calculator from desmos that we use into the activity builder so students dont have to jump from page to page they can have it all on one site?

I’m not sure if this will answer your question. As you are building your assignment, click on the title screen. (Top Left: Edit Activity Details) From that screen it allows you to include a calculator on each slide of your assignment. Once you select either “Four Function” “Scientific” or “Graphing” Calculator, at the top of each slide there will be a little calculator button that shows up for students to click on and will allow the calculator to open up on the same slide. I hope that helps.
I am trying to embed the Texas Calculator to the activity builder. We use desmos com/testing/texas/graphing not just the one that desmos provides because of testing so I am trying to see if I can embed this one instead of just the regular one they have.
I don’t believe embedding other tools (aside form the provided ones in the builder) into the the activity builder is currently available.
So I’m thinking until they make that as a possible calculator version to select it is not possible, but I’m not 100% sure about that.
But according to Desmos, the graphing calculator complies with the feature requirements of STAAR. But I am not familiar with the specific differences and functionalities that have been disabled on the Texas version. The one difference I did visually notice is that the graphing calculator is not preset in degrees. Sorry I couldn’t be more help!
Not the greatest but here is what I use
Desmos test mode calc

It would be so wonderful if we could choose which desmos calculator students could use inside of activities. Even if the activities themselves continued to be the regular calculator, but if the calculator button could be set to a specific testing calculator it would be absolutely wonderful!
I found this conversation from 2023, but it just says that only the standard calculator is available. Testing Calculator
Weird how we can embed the graphing calculator but not the four function calculator or the scientific calculator.
I think to make is slightly like a testing zone include the sink cellDisableEvaluation for a table or disableEvaluation for mathbox.
