Test Corrections Template
This template can be used for student corrections on assessments. This makes students analyze their mistake and (hopefully) learn from it. In my classroom, I give students half of their points back if they do corrections properly.

Editable Practice Regents Assessment
This is a practice regents assessment derived from old regents exams. Many questions were created based on the August 2018 regents exam, but the majority of questions are slightly different. This is so that old regents exams can also be used for review, but students will see slightly different questions. This document is completely editable as it is a Microsoft Word Document. You can add your own questions and tweak as needed. If you have issues with the formatting when downloading to your d

Cell Phone Plans - Real Life Linear Functions
This is a great way for students to apply their knowledge of linear functions to real life situations. Students have the choice of what cell phone to choose and what plan to choose, and then they create a linear function to represent the total cost. This is a word document so it is editable. However, if formatting changes once you download the resource, email me and I'd be happy to send you the PDF :) ericasmathresources@gmail.com

Solving Systems - The Graphing & Elimination Methods
This allows students to practice using the graphing and elimination method for the same system. They can check their work by looking at how they solved the same system using a different method. I used this product in collaborative groupings. I had one student do one method, and another student do the other. Then they would flip roles.

Laws of Exponents Triangle Matching
This is a great resource for students to practice the laws of exponents. Students have to simplify each expression and match it along the triangle sides. You can either have students cut out the triangle pieces and glue/tape them to the template, or you can have them glue/tape them to a colored paper! Answer key included.

Mistakes are Expected, Respected, Inspected, Corrected POSTER
I am really encouraging students to have a growth mindset this year. With that, I want them to know how important it is to make mistakes and learn from them. This poster was printed on colored paper and is a part of my "Math Mindsets" bulletin board in my classroom. I did not come up with the idea for this poster, but I formatted it myself.

Create a Heart on your TI-83/84 Calculator
This is a great, quick activity to engage students! I used this in my Algebra class as a warm up on Valentine's Day, but it can be used any time during the year! It would also be great as an introduction to the graphing calculator! The PDF is a direction sheet on how to graph a heart.

These coupons can be used in a variety of ways. I use them based on a point system used for classroom management. The coupons are different costs, but they can be used randomly as well. Here is a description of how I use them in my classroom. Homework Pass - Students can use this pass on a HW assignment of their choice to receive full credit. Comfort Coupon - Students can use this to sit at the teachers desk for the class period AND sit on the comfy chair. Pull Sticks Pass - I use sticks to ra

Teaching style
As a teacher, I find it necessary to provide a diverse allotment of lessons in order to meet the needs of such diverse students. Everyone is allowed the opportunity for an education, and it is our job to ensure that this education is accessible to all. Some lessons need to be direct, while others can provide great opportunity for collaboration and discussion. It can also be extremely meaningful to have students create something on their own, to enhance their learning experience.
We all learn differently, and I provide a vast array of materials that fit the needs of diverse students.
