Scientific Notation Amazing Math
Students practice converting from standard notation to scientific notation in 3 of these mazes and from scientific notation to standard notation in the other three.
I have students use a colored pencil to trace their path and show their work. If they make a mistake, I have them use a different color to continue their work. This way we can see the points of confusion and help clarify.
Great for sub work, extra practice at home or use for early finishers as well. I keep several types of m

Students practice adding and subtracting integers and decimals in these pyramids. There are 6 different pyramids in total--3 with integers and 3 with decimals, with different levels of skill and/or logic needed to solve. In level 1 students have the entire bottom level of the pyramid filled in and need to add the 2 adjacent blocks to get the sum which is placed on the block on top of it. In level 2, students have the block on the left side completed and need to scale up and down to complete th

Experience
I love teaching all types of math including Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra 2, Consumer Math and of course Geometry. I have been teaching over 20 years now and I keep learning new tips and tricks to keep the kids learning. Students always want to know what is my favorite part of math, and I always answer "The part we are doing right now".
Teaching style
I like an active classroom where everyone is busy. Every day we are doing a different type of lesson, activities, something digital, paper, notes, posters, and more. If you stop in one day it will look like chaos, but it is a carefully orchestrated chaos that cleverly disguises all the learning that we are doing. I use a lot of activities -- and keep the kids moving.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I recently applied for and received a grant for $16,000 to puchase racing car simulators. Students design a race car engine online and then use the simulators to test their engines. My middle school classes that told me math 8 is too hard were using college level Algebra and Calculus to design those engines and had a great time.
My own education history
I have a degree in Business Administration (accounting) and worked as an accountant for 20 years before changing careers and achieving my life long dream of becoming a teacher. I have a degree in Mathematics as well as a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. I consider myself blessed each day to have the dream. It took me awhile but I finally found the place I was meant to be.
Additional biographical information
In addition to my teaching duties, I mentor new teachers and also speak at conferences several times a year. I have spoken at Palm Springs each fall at the California Mathematics Council conference. Last year I was honored to speak at the CTA good teaching conferences in both San Jose and San Diego. It is always a pleasure to speak with other teachers and be able to share some ideas about what is working in the classroom.
