I created this for some extra practice for my students after introducing division. You can of course pick how you'd like to use the cards and recording sheet; however, I had my students pair up and had the cards places around the room on student desks. Prior to the activity, I placed 25 Cookie Crisp Cereal pieces into small snack size baggies for students to use as counters. Each student had a baggie and a recording form. Make sure to copy the recording form double sided. The students worke

Whenever my students hear “algebra,” I see a classroom full of panicked faces! To ease their worried looks, I decided to make an inviting and engaging math center for my students! Students are asked to join the Construction Crew to fix up and build the algebraic equations wherever a variable is. Students will have to substitute the missing variable with the correct number to "fix up" the math sentence. Simply copy, laminate and cut. I have created a mini-cover for each set you make. I

Although it can be played with only 2 players, 4-6 is more ideal because with less players, the students will need to hold more cards in their hands— which may be difficult for some! The games are ea

About the store

Experience

I have taught a variety of grade levels for 17 years in diverse communities.

Teaching style

I prefer to integrate student led learning along with teacher led learning. I find it best to teach students first as a whole and gradually release responsibility to each student. I strive to make every minute count academically! I have also found it important to keep up with the curriculum; however, still allowing the kids to have fun learning!

My own education history

Completed coursework at University of Alabama, Huntsville and graduate of Northern Illinois Univeristy

Additional biographical information

I enjoy learning about space sciences. Originally I was going to school for aeronautical engineering. At that time, I went to Space Camp for adults in Huntsville, Alabama. However, it was then that I changed my major to Education when I saw how much of the information I was learning could be implemented in an elementary classroom!
