Modeling Trig graphs, City Temperatures Project, Answer Keys

This is a bundles lesson covering how to determine the sinusoidal equation from specific points. Years ago, I used an online project called "If Only Nice Weather Could Last Year Round". However when I couldn't find it recently I created this one from scratch for use in my trigonometry class. This lesson starts with an activity the students complete on the TI-83/84 graphing calculator. Here's an example for determining the amplitude of a graph from the equation: How does the "A" value change

Algebra 2 Rational Root Theorem Take-Home Project

This is a project I have used in both Algebra II and PreCalculus classes to evaluate the Rational Root Theorem. I give them five problems to analyze and determine all the possible real roots using the Rational Root Theorem, Synthetic Division, and the Quadratic Formula. I have used this several time and been happy with the results. While you (and the students) can verify their answers with a graphing calculator, what's important is the explanation of how they completed the work. The file giv

Rational Equations Bingo Card with Questions

This is an activity I use when reviewing for tests. I created two blank BINGO cards with the possible answers along the edge. Students then fill in (with ink) the answers into the two blank cards and we start. I have them play with both cards simultaneously and will award bonus points based on their bingo order (1st round, 2nd round, etc). I also suggest setting a maximum number of points possible to achieve. To keep everyone active, I will put several problems on the board at once (about 4) a

Teaching style

I believe in teaching both the theory with the math but also practical real-world uses of the current topic. These include a project with cryptology utilizing matrix multiplication, land navigation and trigonometry, and projectile motion and basic quadratics, to name a few. I also believe technology is important in education but should enhance a curriculum, not overpower it.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Maryland Council of the Teachers of Mathematics High School Teacher of the Year, 2011 Carroll County Outstanding Teacher Award, 2010 Northrop Grumman Weightless Flight of Discovery Recipient, 2007 Carroll County Outstanding Educator with Technology Award, 2007 Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Recipient, 2005 Semi-Finalist, Maryland Teacher of the Year, 2005 Carroll County Teacher of the Year, Carroll County (MD), 2005 Teacher of the Year, River Hill High School, 1997

My own education history

I started in the military and after moving into the National Guard, began working with a contract engineering firm. I realized my calling was in teaching and completed my certification. After teaching for 5 years, I needed a change and went into engineering sales work, primarily in the manufacturing sector. With the birth of my daughter, I wanted to spend more time at home but also realized how much more I could do in the classroom than in a manufacturing plant. After only two years back in the classroom, I was named Carroll County's Teacher of the Year and was a Maryland Teacher of the Year Semi-Finalist.
