Geometry Triangle Congruence Theorems Activity
SSS, SAS, SSA. They mean absolutely nothing to my students. So instead of wasting a month on this unit, I condensed it into this activity which allows students to physically manipulate objects and discover which shortcut theorems can be used to show that two triangles are congruent. It is tough to implement at first, but it has done wonders for my students once they get the hang of it. We constantly refer back to this experiment whenever we are proving things in later units.

Basic Geometry Definitions I have who has cards
A great way to have students interact with one another on geometric definitions. The cards print double sided, but the back side is NOT the correct definition. Instead, the student has to find the person that has their definition/term on their card. Great day 2 activity!

Geometric Constructions Independent Practice
This is the homework I assign after we do our lessons on constructions. Make sure to send the tools home with the students!! Also, don't forget to check out Euclidea (phone app). I don't work for them, but it is a great way to get your students to practice!

Teaching style
In my classroom, I take a constructivist approach allowing my students to facilitate the learning. My job is to create the activities to keep them topical and guide them along a path of success. I am a staunch practitioner of a thinking classroom where my students spend the majority of the time collaborating around the solution of a problem up at the boards around my classroom. To outsiders, if might be chaos. We just call it learning.

My own education history
I attended Southeast Missouri State University to earn a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education - Mathematics and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics. My passion for math led me to attend grad school at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and earn my Master's in Mathematics.
I have over 80 hours of training when it comes to working with students with autism, ESOL, and high risk students.
