This activity is designed to introduce students to some of the functions used in Algebra I and Algebra II. Many times students are provided the functions one at a time and never truly understand how to differentiate between them. Using many representations of the functions allows the students to see different ways a function can exist. Includes linear, quadratic, exponential, and absolute value functions.

After teaching this skill, a few of my students couldn’t seem to grasp the concept without repeated reminders. So I came up with this note sheet they could use as a reminder of the steps. After using a laminated sheet for a few problems, they were able to successfully graph a line without the paper. The next day, they used this sheet for a few times before feeling confident to graph on their own.

About the store

Experience

I have been teaching for 22 years. The last 20 years have been on the high school level teaching mathematics. I have also taught College Algebra and Statistics.

Teaching style

To be honest, I don't have one teaching style. I use a variety of methods in order to reach my students. It just depends. I do believe all willing students learn. Unwilling students are the challenges we as teachers face. I'm just not the type of teacher to give up on them. I want to be the teacher they need and continue needing in their lives as they move on in the world. It's always a pleasure to hear from my previous students.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Master Math Teacher Teacher of the Year 2008 Teacher of the Year 2015

My own education history

I began college full-time in 1999 with two small children. (Aaron 2, Lucas 4 months) I took 52 hours that year. It really seems like a blur looking back. I finished my Bachelors in August of 2000 with an emphasis on Early Childhood. My first job was Special Ed in grades Pre-K through 8th. I moved out of Special Ed into 3rd grade. (not my favorite year) Doing so provided me the opportunity to gain my Masters in Public School Mathematics in 2006. I kept going and earned my Principal's certification. I believe I'm two courses short of my Masters in Mathematics.

Additional biographical information

I have been married to the love of my life for 27 years. Lee and I have three boys. Aaron is 25, Lucas is 24, and Samuel is 21. We also have our dog, Fred, and cat, Smokey. We enjoy fishing and remodeling stuff. I personally enjoy watching hummingbirds and other wildlife and photography outside of teaching mathematics.
