Classifying Triangles Concept Map
This is a concept map for classifying triangles that needs to be filled in by students. I have something like a family tree for classifying triangles by angles and by sides. I put an answer bank at the bottom with all the terms the students need to fill out: acute, obtuse, right, equiangular, scalene, isosceles, and equilateral triangles.

Pythagorean Theorem Notes: Finding A Missing Side Notes
These two pages are notes for finding missing sides of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. The first page is for finding the hypotenuse, 'c', and the second page is for finding a missing leg, 'a' or 'b'. I provide one example problem for both kinds of problems with three practice problems for each type of Pythagorean problem. Two of the problems are word problems, one for each type of Pythagorean problem.

Pythagorean Theoream: Is It A Right Triangle?
This worksheet is over proving if a triangle is a right triangle or not. I explain in two examples what has to happen in the Pythagorean theorem for 3 side lengths to make a right triangle. If the Pythagorean theorem balances out, then it is a right triangle. If the Pythagorean theorem doesn't balance out, then it isn't a right triangle.
I have videos on my website that explain the Pythagorean theorem in more detail. www.doucehouse.com

Experience
I am an experienced high school math teacher with 13 years of experience teaching primarily Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, with a strong focus on supporting at-risk students.

My strength lies in explaining concepts clearly, using accessible strategies that build understanding and confidence, and creating a supportive learning environment where students feel capable of success in math.
Teaching style
I am known for breaking down complex concepts into clear, simple explanations that help students build confidence and truly understand the material. My teaching approach is patient, supportive, and structured, focusing on meeting students where they are and helping them make steady progress. I believe every student can succeed in math with the right guidance, encouragement, and clear instruction.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have many but I'm proudest at getting my students to believe in themselves. I focus on helping students make better decisions along with enforcing work being shown to build confidence in their math skills. I have taught over 2000 students and have helped many of those students achieve more than they thought possible.
My own education history
I have a BS in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. I started tutoring students from elementary level up to high school level in all subjects while in college, even taking a class where I taught engineering concepts to at-risk middle school students. I decided early in my engineering career that education was my calling and have been teaching ever since.
Additional biographical information
I've been married since 2011 and have 2 wonderful boys in elementary and middle school.
