About the store
Stop answer-sharing, start deeper learning. Every product comes in 179 auto-varied, self-checking versions — each student gets different numbers, so the work reflects their own thinking. These are strategies I use in my own classroom and has a positive impact on engagement.
I'm an educator with close to 35 years of hands-on experience across the entire K-12 spectrum. My career has been incredibly rewarding, from being an early years educational assistant to middle years generalist teaching all subjects, to specializing in high school mathematics, astronomy, and computer science.
My journey has also taken me beyond the classroom. I've served as a school administrator, a district-level technology consultant, and a curriculum writer and reviewer for textbook publishers. I'm passionate about supporting fellow teachers and have delivered countless workshops on technology integration, inquiry-based math, effective assessment, and professional collaboration. Every resource I create is grounded in these decades of practical, real-world expertise.

Dial Gauges Bundle — Read & Set the Needle | 5 Products · 895 Versions
This bundle is the whole dial-gauge suite in one discounted download — reading a speedometer, a pressure gauge, and a fuel gauge (as a fraction), setting the needle to a target value, and reading a before-and-after change. Every card is a needle dial with a curved scale, building real-world measurement reading from a single value up to placing a needle and finding a change. 179 unique cards per product.Every gauge is captured to scale from the Read-&-Set-the-Dial interactive, and each card is se

Dial Gauges — Set the Needle | 179 Versions, Self-Checking QR — High School Math
Each unique card shows a blank dial — a speedometer, pressure gauge, or fuel gauge — with a target value printed above it. Students draw the needle so it points to that value. It is the inverse of reading a dial: instead of reading where the needle is, they place it. A full answer key (the correct position) is included.Every gauge is rendered to scale from the Read-&-Set-the-Dial interactive. Each card stands alone when cut apart.EACH CARD REQUIRES STUDENTS TO:• Read the target value above the d

Dial Gauges — Read the Pressure Gauge | 179 Versions, Self-Checking QR — HS
Each unique card shows a pressure gauge with the needle pointing to a value on a 0–60 psi dial. Students read the pressure, using the labeled marks every 10 psi and the small ticks every 2 psi to read between them. It builds dial-reading on a finer scale than the speedometer. A full answer key is included.Every gauge is rendered to scale from the Read-&-Set-the-Dial interactive. Each card stands alone when cut apart.EACH CARD REQUIRES STUDENTS TO:• Find the nearest labeled mark below the needle.

Dial Gauges — Read the Fuel Gauge (Fractions) | 179 Versions, Self-Checking QR —
Each unique card shows a fuel gauge running from E (empty) to F (full), marked at the quarters, with the needle at one of the eighths. Students read how full the tank is as a fraction. It ties real-world dial reading to fractions on a scale — eighths, quarters, and halves. A full answer key is included.Every gauge is rendered to scale from the Read-&-Set-the-Dial interactive.

Compare Temperatures — Which Is Warmer & By How Much | 179 Versions, Self-Checki
Each unique card shows two outdoor thermometers — often with one below zero. Students read both, decide which is warmer, and find the difference. It joins two skills: reading a scale and subtracting with negative numbers (e.g. 5 °C is 13° warmer than −8 °C). A full answer key is included.The thermometers are captured to scale from the Scale Eye interactive.

Teaching style
My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that students learn best when they are architects of their own understanding. I see my role as a guide, carefully creating the conditions for constructivist learning and exploration. In my classroom, I nurture students through experiences that prompt them to make their own meaning. I leverage technology as a powerful tool to extend our reach, allowing us to learn more deeply and efficiently. By scaffolding both learning activities and assessments, I meet students exactly where they are, using my deep understanding of the curriculum to ensure every learner can access the material and discover knowledge for themselves.
My own education history
My academic journey is rooted in a commitment to lifelong learning and understanding how students learn best. I began with a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and Religion) from the University of Manitoba and a Bachelor of Education from Memorial University. My passion for modern pedagogy led me to pursue two master's degrees: a Master of Arts in Education Technology Leadership from The George Washington University and a Professional Master of Education in Inquiry from Queen's University.
To stay current, I've also earned graduate certificates in eLearning, Professional Inquiry, and Education Assessment. This academic foundation is complemented by my practical work as a data manager and analyst for provincial education improvement projects, ensuring my resources are not just creative, but also evidence-based and effective.
Additional biographical information
Welcome! I'm a long-time educator and lifelong learner based in Winnipeg. I opened this store because I'm passionate about helping students see subjects like math as a playground of fascinating puzzles, not a list of problems to be solved.
To do that, students need to talk, question, and explore. My resources are specifically designed to foster that environment. They are catalysts for collaboration, structured to naturally guide students into discussions about how they got an answer, not just what the answer is. My goal is to help you create a classroom where students learn deeply by thinking and discovering together. I'm excited to share these tools with you.
