About the store
This is my seventh year of teaching--and I love it! Yes, everyday is a challenge, but I face that challenge head-on. I work with a difficult group of children, coming from homes where survival is far more important that completing their homework. I am determined to do well and continue with this passion for as long as I am able to do so!

Measures of Central Tendency Lesson
This lesson is designed to continue to develop student understanding of the measures of central tendency, which are mean, median and mode. This lesson includes a task, class activity, exit ticket, and homework assignment with a "part two" that could be used as a second homework or an extension in class the next day. Enjoy!

Statistics - The Survey Says...
Does the end of the year have your students a little restless? Give them the opportunity to put some practical concepts to use! Through this activity, students will conduct a survey that allows them to conduct a simple experiment and determine how random or biased sampling affects survey results. This activity can be as free or as structured as you like--it's very versatile! I hope you and your students enjoy this experience!

Experience
This is my seventh year of teaching--and I love it! Yes, everyday is a challenge, but I face that challenge head-on. I work with a difficult group of children, coming from homes where survival is far more important that completing their homework. I am determined to do well and continue with this passion for as long as I am able to do so!
Teaching style
I am a very hands-on teacher. Even though sometimes worksheets and repetitive practice are necessary, I enjoy making learning math a fun experience. I try to do this through games and challenges where I force students to think and persevere to get to their answer.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Even though I have yet to be publically recognized by an offical for the work I have done, I am awarded everyday by students who say, "I love your class, Mrs. Smith." If it weren't for these moments, I wouldn't love my job as much as I do :)
My own education history
I grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I was always a very studious person, earning nothing below a B for my entire educational life (K through college senior).I love learning--it is my passion. My goal is to pass that passion on to my students, hopefully producing a new, excited generation of educators.
Additional biographical information
I am a fun-loving woman who has been married to an amazing man since 2009! He is also a passionate teacher. We also have two sons, Michael born in July 2011 and Archer born in June 2015. I love life and all the twists and turns that it brings!
