About the store
I retired from a 30-year career as high school math teacher. I am actively involved in providing professional development for math teachers grades 4-12. My passion is helping students (of all ages) get through prior stumbling blocks to learning math in a meaningful way. It is very important to me that activities, presentations and all documents used for learning look professional. I have been a lead person in my district for creating benchmark exams used by thousands of students. I helped create a website for our teachers that contains classroom activities that are ready to use.

Finding Patterns Painted Cubes
This problem starts with a 1 by 1 by 1 painted cube. Then builds to a 2 by 2 by 2 painted cube, then 3 by 3 by 3 painted cube, etc. Students are asked to count the number of 1 by 1 by 1 cubes that have paint on all six faces, three faces, two faces, one face and no faces. There is a table that has some of the information filled in to help the student find the needed information and then they are asked to try to generalize the patterns found.
This works really well if you have cubes to give the

Teaching style
Since I am a visual learner, I believe in using color to help accentuate connections in concepts. Besides including graphics with my activities, I try to present material in multiple modalities. I firmly believe that all students can learn math and excel in it. I have a "growth mindset," and work to help others understand how that can help them learn math. My favorite thing to say to any person who says, "I'm not good in math," is "You aren't good in math YET!"
My own education history
Masters of Arts and Bachelors of Science degrees in Mathematics from San José State University. Single Subject teaching credential in mathematics also from San José State University.
