Your Trip to the Zoo
Students will use data from a trip to the zoo to solve problems of area, perimeter, percents, fractions, and points on a grid system. Students are provided with a grid map of the zoo and a key to read the map. That makes this a challenging exercise since students must constantly be moving between the map and key in order to find answers.

Let's Play Geometry Bingo
Students love this activity because they think it's a game, but it is really an effective tool for reviewing geometric terms, such as the different types of lines, angles, shapes, and parts of a circle. It consists of 30 different "bingo" cards and 24 small "caller" cards that are used to call out the geometric term students should be looking for. All of the cards have been given a number from 1 to 24, making it easy to check if the player indeed has a bingo. I recommend laminating all of the

Experience
I have taught 12 years in Wake County School System, Raleigh, North Carolina, teaching 4th and 5th grade in elementary school and 6th grade math and science.
In 2005, I earned my National Board Certification for K-6.
Teaching style
I prefer to create my own lesson plans, using real-life, hands-on activities when possible. I have tons of experience in curriculum mapping, differentiation, and accommodations for varied learning styles and special needs.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have been nominated for teacher-of-the-year for 11 of my 12 years teaching..
My own education history
I went back to school in mid-life to become a teacher. I feel fortunate to have attended California State University in Dominguez Hills, California. CSUDH began as a college for training teachers for the Los Angeles School System, so the curriculum was specifically designed to give teachers a broad education across all subjects in addition to regular teacher instruction classes, incorporating the latest pedagogy and methods. I graduated Summa Cum Laude and was awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award for my graduating class. In 2005 I earned my National Board Certification.
Additional biographical information
For two years, I wrote and reviewed questions developed at North Carolina State University that were to be used for standardized test questions throughout the state, meeting state curriculum goals and objectives..
