About the store
I have recently left the classroom for a data analyst job in the private sector. Prior to this transition, I have taught math at a liberal arts college for 8 years. Some of the courses I taught regularly were precalculus, statistics, and business calculus. I have also been tutoring students of all ages for many years. Oddly enough, SAT math is one of my favorite tutoring subjects because I get to solve more interesting problems with the student. It also covers many topics in mathematics.

Polynomial Function Project - Roller Coaster
In this project, students learn how to use polynomial function to model roller coaster rides. In this first part, they are given some polynomial functions to find the relative maximum/minimum, increasing/decreasing intervals, x- and y-intercepts, etc. They will explore the average rate of change. In the second part of the project, students are asked design their own roller coaster given some basic criteria. Students should use graphing devices/computer applications to complete this project.

Factor and Remainder Theorem Worksheet
This is a quick in-class exercise on Factor and Remainder theorem worksheet with additional exercise. Teacher can use this while teaching the section. It includes definition of the two theorem.
Students would use the remainder theorem to find the remainder when a polynomial is divided by x-a without performing any long or synthetic division. Students should note that when f(a) =0, then x-a is a factor of such polynomial when they were presented with the factor theorem. Then, students would use

Graphing Linear Function
This is a guided worksheet for an introduction to graphing linear function. It is appropriate for algebra 1, some algebra 2 or pre-algebra class.
Teachers can use it as a handout to guide students to graphing linear function. Students would first explore graphing linear equation through completing a table of values and plotting coordinates on the Cartesian plane. Then they are introduced to the slope-intercept form. The focus of the lesson is on the slope-intercept form.

Teaching style
I am a more traditional instructor. I have tried to be creative by using flipped classroom and smart devices. However, I have found that students still learn best when they are given one-on-one, face-to-face instruction. Instruction needs not be dry. I think good demonstration with concrete examples would engage students learn better. Then they would be more confident in solving problems on their own. I have also allotted a lot more class time on class practice for students to work on problems. I also like to give case study assignments to my students.
