Included Activities:
Fall Cross Number Puzzle
If you’re not quite sure what a Cross Number Puzzle is, just imagine a crossword puzzle. In a crossword puzzle, you are given a short phrase and from that phrase you are expected to come up with a word that matches that phrase and has the same number of letters that the box shows. Well, a cross number puzzle is very similar. You are given an equation and your answer needs to match the specific number of boxes provided.
With this activity you will receive one complete cross number puzzle, an answer key, and a blank template so that student can make their own!

Let’s Talk Teaching Podcast with Kayla Durkin
How do you feel about teacher podcasts? I’ll admit, I wasn’t super into them at first either. However, once I realized the impact they can make, I was hooked.
Sometimes, the best teacher PD we can receive comes from having conversations with other educators, which is what the Let’s Talk Teaching Podcast is all about!
And guess what, I release a new episode every Friday! Whether you’re driving to school, driving to the gym, or folding some laundry at home, if you’re looking for a new teacher podcast to listen to, this is surely one you do not want to miss!
