About the store
I am about to start my 6th year of teaching. All 6 years have been completed in San Antonio, TX so my products are geared more towards the TEKS than common core, although Math is Math! I have taught 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, GT Algebra 1, and then Intervention classes as well. I love the middle school level and can't picture myself teaching any other grade level.

Finding Slope and Y-Intercept from Tables and Graphs

Sixteen tables and graphs to be used for finding slope and y-intercept. The idea is that the tables and graphs would be placed in sheet protectors so that students can use dry erase markers to do their work on the graphs and the tables. There are two recording sheets that can be used to find slope one day and y-intercept the other. Or you can use the word document to switch up the activity and find both on the same day. All word documents and answer key are included. If you have any other questi

Creating Box Plots Practice

This practice is a great introduction to box plots with students. The first part of the handout is dedicated to labeling the box plot and defining all associated vocabulary with a large graphic. Students need to be comfortable with the language around box plots, and be able to label one before they can create one or analyze one. Next, there is a guided example and independent example using an even number of data values where students are just expected to find the 5-number summary. Then, there is

Approximating Irrational Numbers

Students are given an irrational number like a non-perfect square number, and 3 representations of that number. Two of the representations are truth and one is a lie. Students have to explain why each representation is either a truth or a lie. In the last 2 problems, students are given a non-perfect square, one statement, and they have to create the other two in order to keep the 2 truths and a lie.

About the store

Experience

I am about to start my 6th year of teaching. All 6 years have been completed in San Antonio, TX so my products are geared more towards the TEKS than common core, although Math is Math! I have taught 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, GT Algebra 1, and then Intervention classes as well. I love the middle school level and can't picture myself teaching any other grade level.

Teaching style

Build rapport, respect, and include humor and creativity as often as possible.

My own education history

I graduated from the Judson District, spent 2 years at San Antonio College to stay in town, and then commuted to Texas State University to complete my degree in 4-8 Math. I was a true school and math nerd.

Additional biographical information

Visit our website at www.catnipswordwalls.com. I am 27 years old, and grew up with a passion for Art and Math. When we were instructed to display Word Walls in our classrooms 5 years ago, I began making them for myself as an excuse to do something artsy. As I switched grade levels, I added more words until I ended up with an almost perfect comprehensive middle school math word wall set. Now I am branching out to other grade levels and maybe one day, other subjects.
