About the store
I have been a math teacher for 20 years and a mathematics instructional coach for ten years, for a total of thirty years in math education, all of them in middle schools and junior high schools. I did also teach math courses at a university for several years as an adjunct instructor.
The products in my store are mainly designed for middle level math. Some of them could also be used in high school algebra and geometry courses.
The products are a mixture of warm-ups, activities (BINGO, scavenger hunts, and matching) and worksheets with guided notes. The guided note worksheets are set up in the gradual release of responsibility format.
"I do. We do. You do."
The regular worksheets include practice problems, usually with an example for each concept. The warm-ups are designed for two-week durations and include calculations, applications, and multiple-choice questions.
I recently sustained a head injury and am unable to return to teaching, so Teachers Pay Teachers is what I'm doing instead. I loved my teaching job, and the students enjoyed my classes and learned lots of math, so my methods must be effective. I truly hope you will find them useful and engaging for your classes as well.
Thank you so much for visiting my store, and please check back regularly as I am continuously adding more products and updating ones already posted.

This is an introductory assignment, so all given bases and heights are integers. This assignment is used mainly in grade 6 and 7 but could be used as a review for other classes.

Additional biographical information
In the month of January during my 30th year of teaching, I fell, hit my head, and sustained a traumatic brain injury from which I have not been able to recover. This almost means I can't do what I love the most, which is teaching. It does, however, give me this time to share the resources I have created over the years. One year ago, I was also diagnosed with ADHD. My resources are the activities and assignments I created with my neurodivergent brain over the years, and they worked well for my students and me. I've had many co-teachers tell me that I am a special education teacher in real life, because of the methods I use and how I explain the concepts. My thirty years of teaching have been amazingly successful. I loved my job, and the students enjoyed my classes and did well, so my methods must be effective. I truly hope you will find them useful and engaging.
My experience has mainly been in middle schools and junior highs, but I also taught math courses at a local university. Please email me if you find errors in the text or answers:
