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.

Order of Operations Bingo
First I need to give credit to the blog Math Equals Love, Ms. Hagan has been such an inspiration to me starting an interactive notebook in my classroom. We used her printable for PEMDAS today and the kids really seemed to understand the left to right concept better in the visual organizer. I will reference her materials tons this semester!
Tomorrow we will be playing Order of Operations Bingo, I decided to add a bit of a twist to the lesson provided by NCTM. I decided I would let the kids come up to the board and select a number to solve, then they would mark it out on their bingo card. If anyone knows how to limit a hyperlink to one click, please let me know. Originally I was going to use shapes instead of numbers for the hyperlinks, but I couldn't figure out how to make the shapes disappear. If you have a smart-board let students toss a sock at the board to choose the next problem. Unfortunately my kids have to use the pen, so I had a different number than the answer for each problem. My first five kids to win bingo will receive 25 tickets to place in the drawing on Friday in hopes of getting one of the 4 homework passes.
