First, let me warn you that these challenges are super consuming and you will lose an entire class period. Desmos.com was a happy accidental find on twitter and I am now hooked! A way to teach transformations and to make students allow room for error. There were a few that I will admit I gave up on in the middle of trying to find the answer, so I do recommend going through them all and then assigning a few for a class. This is super fun! I could see my students discussing what they did to arrive to their answer and hopefully being able to take the adjustments and creating postulates for math. I love any time my students get sucked into an activity. This is why I have opened up a donorschoose page for fire tablets this time. In hopes to bring technology into my classroom for activities like this. I need to explore some more, but I encourage you to do the same and share your experiences. Best part...it is free! So explore away.
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.
