A scanned copy of the cut-and-paste is included to show the outcome.

Compound Interest ANCHOR CHART + Guided Notes Page - Prints Neatly!
I have a confession – I am a high school math teacher who loves those good-old elementary “anchor charts.” BUT, I am not an artist capable of drawing my own, so I set out to find some to download, purchase, etc… But I couldn’t find any! So, I was forced to create my own… I learned that I could create charts in one software, and then convert them over to where they print on multiple pages (most of mine print on 4 or 9 8.5 x 11 pages). It occurred to me they might be useful to others, so I am incl

My own education history
BS in Computer Science, graduating Cum Laude in 3.5 years from Middle Tennessee State University. Course of study included 39 hours of mathematics credit, with an emphasis in statistics. A member of the initial group of Teach Tennessee Fellows, I also have some graduate credits earned in both Education as well as Business Administration.
Additional biographical information
My most outstanding life accomplishment, only by the grace of God, is wife of Brad for 23 years and excessively proud mother of three girls.
About the name "Debbie's Lemonade Stand"... In late summer of 2013, I was diagnosed with State IIb Breast Cancer and proceeded to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction, 6 rounds of harsh chemotherapy and a full year of other IV chemotherapy. Three days before my last chemo treatment, I fell and severely broke my right ankle in two places. God used what should have been a tragic part of my life to bring a blessing, because post-chemo weeks and those weeks recovering from a broken ankle, gave me lots of time to create my Teachers Pay Teachers store with all the things I had been dreaming of creating in my nine years of teaching. Therefore the name: Debbie's Lemonade Stand... because God truly can make Lemonade from Lemons!
