About the store
I've worked in a variety of settings at a variety of grade levels. I started my career in preschool, where I worked for six years. I also taught 5th grade in an upper-middle class suburban community as well as an urban charter school that served a Muslim population. Since then, I have been in my current district, Ann Arbor. Here I taught 1st grade and 4th grade for 14 years before transitioning into a math coach position. For 7 years, I also worked for The Princeton Review, a test preparation company. For The Princeton Review, I taught and tutored for the ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE, and MCAT verbal tests. I trained prospective teachers for the ACT and GMAT. I also wrote content for their ACT, Early Edge, and GMAT materials.

Fraction Flip Book - Common Core Aligned

This set includes two flip books - a scaffolded one and an open-ended one. Both flip books include a fraction/decimal/percent equivalency table as well as fraction strips/bars that are useful for comparing fractional amounts and finding equivalent fractions. The fractions on each flip book include 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, and 1/12. Each page is 1/2 inch longer than the one before it, so when they are stapled/glued together, students can see the fraction strips of each. The

Standard Algorithm Posters/Anchor Charts (all operations)

Use these anchor charts/posters to help students remember the steps of the standard algorithm for each operation! Each poster has an example that is color-coded to correspond to the listed steps. There are also 3 different versions of each poster with various page borders (black with white polka dots, white with black polka dots, or simple black). Bulletin board headings are also included that match the different borders. The headings say "Standard Algorithm" or "Traditional U.S. Algorithm". T

Teaching style

My focus is on small-group instruction with flexible groupings based on data. I try to incorporate authentic learning experiences and inquiry-based investigations.

My own education history

I attended undergraduate and graduate school at Michigan State University. My graduate degree is in Teaching and Curriculum with a concentration in instructional technology. I have been through Math Recovery training for: AVMR 1, AVMR 2, Fractions, MRSp1 (Math Recovery Specialist 1).
