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.
Using statistics from the 2012 World Series Champions, the San Francisco Giants, students calculate range, mean, median, and mode.

Students play bingo in which they are given a number sentences containing negative numbers and try to find the result on their bingo cards. The lesson includes 30 different bingo cards and 37 calling cards with numbers sentences. Also included is a blank bingo card in case you want to make your own bingo game.
Common Core Standard: Math.Content.7.NS.A.3
A bingo game in which students have fun practicing their basic facts. The lesson contains 45 “calling cards” containing
multiplication problems and 30 different bingo cards with answers. Can be laminated and used over and over as a center or as a whole class activity.

Students practice finding factors of numbers while playing bingo. Lesson includes 30 bingo cards with numbers and 36 calling cards with factors of those numbers. Bingo cards and calling cards can be laminated for repeated play. While finding factors appears in the 4th grade common core curriculum, this game is probably more appropriate for 5th and 6th graders.
Common Core Standards:Math.Content.4.OA.C.5 & Math.Content.6.EE.A.1
Students roll 3 dice and using any combination of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, parentheses, and exponents to write numerical expressions to which the answers are numbers from 1-10. Those answers “knock down” that number pin. Each player takes turn rolling until they have “bowled” all ten frames. Good for centers too.

I made this simple device to help my students understand Scientific Notation and Standard Form. Simply print the templates, cut them out, fold them over and staple them correctly. On one side will be a flipbook of the steps for converting a number from Scientific Notation to Standard Form. On the other side will be a flipbook of the steps for converting a number in Standard Form to Scientific Notation. This helped my students, so I thought I'd share it.

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..
