Round to the Half Dollar, Collaborative Mosaic (20 Sections)
This is a collaborative rounding frenzy! Housed in a single page of a Google Sheet, this mosaic is slightly different than my typical digital mosaics where each student works on a separate tab. With 560 squares split into 20 sections (which you may opt to ignore and just have students work anywhere!) there is plenty of practice to be had rounding money amounts to the nearest $0.50 increment. The squares will auto-color based on the inputted answer. If the color doesn't look right, students

Experience

Teaching style
Whenever possible, math should be driven by engaging problems that pull students into the concepts and skills I seek to teach. 'Fruitfully frustrated' is a good place to be :)
I enjoy writing and performing math raps (youtube CalfordMath), integrating Geometer's Sketchpad to bring dynamic understanding, gamifying learning (see my product 'Algebra Tile Factris'), and generally pushing creative limits to make math concepts accessible to my students.
I am aware of students' math stigmas and horror stories. I try to build on their natural math intuitions, sidestepping their perceived inability to 'do math' because they never won a class game of around-the-world with multiplication flash cards in grade 4.
My own education history
Concurrent BSc (honours mathematics) / BEd (intermediate/senior) from Brock University, 2008
Honour Specialist in Mathematics from Queen's University, 2012

Additional biographical information
I'm an avid recreational chess player. I enjoy music, skateboarding, longboarding, rapping, programming (see my product 'Algebra Tile Factirs' for a computer game example, or my 'Colouring by...' products for an automated worksheet product), and doing math for fun (total geek).
