About the store
I have taught mathematics in grades 2 - 8 and in higher education. I currently teach undergraduate mathematics courses to preservice elementary and middle school teachers and graduate courses to practicing teachers. I also provide workshops for inservice teachers about the teaching and learning of mathematics. Lately, of course, those workshops have focused on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.

Subitize on Safari
In Subitize on Safari, students learn how to subitize by counting or immediately recognizing the number of safari animals pictured on a slide. Each slide contains from 1 to 10 safari animals in an arrangement that is common for that number (e.g., arranged like the dot patterns on dice).
There is a blank slide after each animal slide. This makes it easy for you to control how long you want your students to view each animal arrangement—you simply click to a blank slide and then give students ti

Learn Multiplication Facts: An Activity for CCSS-M 3.OA.7
Students see equal-size groups of various sports balls only briefly so they automatically think in terms of groups in order to find the total number of balls on each slide. Thus, this activity promotes development in students’ abilities to multiply fluently. I think you will be amazed at how motivating this activity is for your students if you either purchase it or try the free preview with them. Students really enjoy finding the total number of balls—it is a great way to have them work on their

Teaching style
Mathematics makes sense! In class, my students work on activities that enable them to see relationships and to come up with the formal procedures used by the larger mathematics community. Students talk about what they are noticing and they challenge and build on each others' ideas. My goal is for students to experience mathematics as something that makes sense and has many uses and to have fun doing it. Let's enjoy doing math!
