About the store
7+ years of doing what I loved the most: teaching math to young folks from underrepresented communities. My teaching philosophy is centered on implementing trauma-informed and PBIS practices in the classroom knowing that all of my students are capable of mastering the learning objectives. My area of expertise includes creating scaffolded material for newcomer students so that they can, not only be able to access the content material, but also to build, develop, and practice their English literacy skills.

Solving, Writing and Graphing Compound Inequalities (Scaffolded Notes)
Students will solve, write and graph compound inequalities (one-step); particularly, inequalities that involve "and" & "or." This worksheet is scaffolded and specifically designed for English Learners as it provides graphic organizers to dissect main vocabulary words and to add images (graphs) to relate English words to the student's home language. I used this worksheet as an introduction activity for more challenging and less-scaffolded worksheets of the same academic standard.

Multiplying Binomials and Graphing Quadratic Polynomials
This worksheet is specifically designed for English Learners although it can definitely be used in any regular mainstream algebra class. Students will multiply two binomials expressed as an area model. Students will discover that the method of multiplying binomials (using FOIL) is analogous to finding the area of a rectangle with sides (x + a)(x + b). The second half of the worksheet requires students to explore quadratics a little bit further by evaluating the function when given an input-outp

Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing (Scaffolded Notes)
Students will sketch the two graphs of the systems of equations in the same coordinate plane. All of the systems are in slope-intercept form so sketching their appropriate graphs is very straight forward. Then, they will compare the two lines and will identify the point of intersection, if it exists, as the solution to the system of equations. I personally used this worksheet at the beginning of the unit, and from there, I introduced the other forms of an equation. This worksheet is scaffolded a
