Then we came to absolute value inequalities. When is it and/or? All the problems in the textbook have the x on the left and some of my kids can't plug in answers to see which ones work so then it hit me. GreatOR than and less thAND. It worked! Even my lowest levels were able to answer and graph a mid level absolute value equation. I have been wanting to have the time to post it because I couldn't just keep it to myself.
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.

Compound inequalities
So sorry for my absence I have been switching schools. But I had an epiphany this week while we were working on inequalities with absolute value. First, I teach them the one that is a slanted L is <ess than and the backward L is greater than. It seems to stick better than the gator eats the greater.
