About the store
I am currently an adjunct professor at Queens College (CUNY) in NYC where I teach an Elementary Math Methods course to preservice teachers. I am also a regional math coach and workshop facilitator. I work in many different schools in the tri-state area providing one-on-one and large group professional development in mathematics. Currently, most of my work is concentrated in helping teachers understand and plan for CCSSM. Prior to this I taught mathematics in NYC public schools for eight years. I began my career in the South Bronx and then moved to two schools in Brooklyn.

Think Pair Share Rubric
Think. Pair. Share.

Math Common Core Practices Posters
The mathematical practices "describe ways in which developing student practitioners of the discipline of mathematics increasingly ought to engage with the subject matter as they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise throughout the elementary, middle and high school years". But what are they really asking students to do?
The bottom line is, if we are to meet the rigorous expectations of the Standards then we must follow the Practices. This file is a set of student friendly posters that ca

Common Core Math Kindergarten
Reading the Common Core Standards can be a daunting task. What are the Standards really asking you to teach? This table can be used in a variety of ways, because it breaks down the narrative of the Standard into teacher friendly terms. It was created with the busy teacher in mind.

Math Coaching and Lesson Plan Review
If you have been here...
I am being observed, I am up for tenure and I have this awesome lesson...I think...I REALLY wish I had someone's undivided attention xo that they can review my lesson with me. THEN, I would feel sooooo much better.

Teaching style
I am a constructivist. I believe children learn best when they are woking on engaging, rigorous tasks that challenge their view of the world and expand their horizons. I teach so that all children feel accomplished, everyone wants to feel smart, I don;t simply call my students mathematicians, I treat them as mathematicians.
