Bracket Algebra

Teaching Algebra for over 25 years. Regular Ed, Integrated, ESL/ELL, Special ED, Honors Copyrighted and Published Bracket Algebra Website:

Emphasize the Fundamentals..with humor. Show them, use fun visual, verbal and auditory cues, and practice. Challenge them with big problems, and let them see how great they can be. PEMDAS has never been effective! So I developed a method to teach "order of operations" without all the convoluted rules; without searching the entire expression for specifics. This new approach uses a simple, left to right sequence. Consistent, solid rules. Uses verbal, visual, and auditory cues for recall

I attended the Air Force Academy right out of high school. After a successful first year, I changed course, and headed to Brown University, where I earned my BA in Business Economics. Moved to Colorado, and knew I wanted to teach and coach. It is at Colorado University where I received my Teaching Certificate. While teaching in Colorado, I earned my Masters in Education Administration from the University of Phoenix.

Since 1994, I've been teaching math and coaching Football/Track/Speed-Strength.I started in Colorado at Centaurus High School where the Bracket Method was created. Then I moved over to Monarch High School, where I started formalizing the method. After 8 years in Colorado, I went back home to teach in my hometown at Kingston High School. It was here I developed the Bracket Algebra Curriculum, copyrighted and published the workbook, created the website, and continue to share this method with other teachers all over the county.
