Hello, my name is Heather Padilla, I am math teacher and a mother of three. I strive to keep my class entertaining, because if I am bored, I know my kids in my class are ready to hit the snooze. I will try to stay on top of it and share my class wisdom that I have borrowed and turned into my own.

Multi-Step Equations
(Original)
Are you teaching Algebra 1? Then you must check out Henrico county's Algebra 1 module site! I love their cutouts and class activities and if I am running low on time, they have the BEST jeopardy! I feel like I am abusing my exclamation points, but when I was a first year teacher, I was thrilled to come across this site. Especially being a lateral entry teacher, I had not seen Algebra 1 since my 8th grade year. It's a great refresher if nothing else.

Today we used one of the graduation puzzles. It took almost 40 minutes for the kids to complete the puzzle, but I love that they were all engaged. It may have been because I bribed them with tickets as well. Some gave up, so I would help them find four pieces to encourage the to keep trying. It was interesting to see the different methods the kids used to solve the puzzle.
