Telling time - standardized test practice
This worksheet (two sides) gives practice for converting analog clock face time to digital time. Each of the 24 problems has four choices. Students circle the correct choice. The clocks are modeled after standardized test sample questions to give students extra practice with clocks whose minute hands do not extend past the numerals. This is a basic black and white worksheet designed to be photocopied for class use.

Standardized test practice - 3rd grade FCAT math
I wrote this test for my daughter's 3rd grade class. It is intended to be used as a practice FCAT exam for math. It contains 52 multiple choice questions covering time, money, number facts, patterns, fractions, combinatorics, and basic geometry.

Patterns practice test - 3rd grade FCAT math
These problems are for intensive practice or remediation on pattern recognition and application of geometric or number patterns to problem solving. There are 10 problems intended to be worked in a timed setting of 24 minutes. Each problem has four choices. The problems are designed to mirror difficulty and complexity consistent with the 3rd grade FCAT math test.

Fractions practice - reducing to lowest terms
This series of three worksheets is designed to help students learn to reduce fractions to lowest terms. It uses realistic word problems and pictures to represent various fractions not in lowest terms and to help show the equivalence. It demonstrates equivalence of small-denominator fractions (sixteenths, eighths, quarters, halves) using a bar broken into congruent portions. It contains worked examples and problems for students to work on their own. It can be used as remediation or enrichment. Pr

Teddy Bodain geography and math
This unit is based on The Astonishing Journey of Teddy Bodain. It includes geography worksheets, a map, and applied math exercises (word problems). The geography lesson includes locating cities and determining distances. A lesson on interstate and U.S. highways is also included with a worksheet. A list of activities and projects is provided. Word problems include opportunities to use websites for reference. Students are asked to calculate distances, fuel consumption, and fuel cost for a driving

Distributive axiom through geometric patterns
The distributive axiom can seem rather abstract to elementary students, so teaching it through concrete geometric patterns can help to clarify the concept. In these slides, the distributive axiom is approached by treating the multiplier as the number of rows or columns and chopping the line of objects (multiplicand) into two groups (addends). It allows students to see where the addition and the multiplication come into play, and it relates the distributed math problem to the undistributed one. I

Distributive axiom applications
The distributive axiom is the basis for the multiplication algorithm involving factors with multiple digits, and it is also the fastest way to do mental math. While it is increasingly added to elementary math texts, the coverage is often sketchy, misplaced, and poorly integrated. In addition, no obvious reason is given for learning it. This slide set is designed to help walk students through steps needed to use the distributive axiom of multiplication with respect to addition. It also covers whe

Teaching style
I believe in extensive experiential learning. However, I also believe we teach by showing, modeling, and explaining. We have to give students opportunities to make mistakes so we can find their errors and we have to let them puzzle over problems so they are ready for answers. I have bits of Montessori, humanist, and constructivist in my style. I believe that writing across the curriculum is critically important and should begin as soon as students can read and write. I like project-based learning, but I believe it needs to be structured and guided so that it does not turn into a craft project.
