About the store
Hi! I’m Caryn, a secondary math teacher with a passion for helping students truly understand math—not just memorize procedures. I’ve spent over 30 years teaching Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, and College Algebra working with students of all ability levels, including SPED and ELL learners.
At Caryn Loves Math, you’ll find engaging, student-centered math activities designed to get students thinking, moving, and making connections. Many of my resources focus on discovery learning, where students explore patterns and build understanding on their own.
📌I have had a TPT store since 2009, and in my store you will find:
--> Walk Around & Scavenger Hunt activities
--> Matching, sorting, and domino-style games
--> Pixel coloring & maze reviews
--> Along with Visual supports and “Walls That Teach” posters
--> Built-in differentiation with multiple levels or versions
All resources are classroom-tested, include clear directions and answer keys, and are designed to work well in mixed-ability classrooms.
My goal is to help teachers save time while giving students meaningful practice that builds confidence and understanding.

Matching Parabola Graphs to Quadratic Equations | Standard & Vertex Forms
This matching activity matches quadratic equations in standard and vertex form with their graph. There are 4 levels to the activity, plus several alternative uses. Students can graph the equation then look for the matching graph, or they can take a graph find the matching equation. Equations are in both standard and vertex form. You can also have student match the equations together to work on changing equations from one form to the other. This sort can be used if you have the students graph
