Algebra Lessons Made Easy

I bring over 22 years of classroom experience teaching mathematics in public schools across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, working with students at both the middle school and high school levels. That range has shaped how I design instruction, and what works for an eighth grader encountering variables for the first time also has to hold up for a tenth grader who thinks they already know the rules. Besides my classroom work, I’ve served as an editor and content contributor for Houghton Mifflin/McDougal Littell, collaborating on a variety of math and STEM projects. That experience sharpened my focus on clarity, precision, and instructional design, including how tasks are sequenced, how examples are chosen, and how language either supports or blocks student understanding. I bring those two worlds together in every resource I create: the realities of daily classroom teaching and the intentional design of high-quality instructional materials. What you’ll find in my store are lessons that are carefully structured, classroom-tested, and built to help students think—not just follow steps. For Algebra 1 teachers working to reduce front-loaded notes and increase student thinking, this work is for you.
