Preview of Test Corrections Template

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.
Preview of Slide Divide Slide Factoring Notes/Reference (Slip N' Slide)

Slide Divide Slide Factoring Notes/Reference (Slip N' Slide)

This reference provides two examples (with answer keys provided) of factoring using the Slide Divide Slide method (also know as, Slip N' Slide).
Preview of Simplifying Radicals - Reference Sheet

Simplifying Radicals - Reference Sheet

This reference sheet explains how to simplify radicals in 3 easy steps. There is an example with a coefficient in front of the radical, and an example without. If you would like the editable word document, send me an email and I'd be happy to provide that.
Preview of Solving Systems - The Graphing & Elimination Methods

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.
Preview of Laws of Exponents Triangle Matching

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.
Preview of Systems of Linear Equations: Review Problems

Systems of Linear Equations: Review Problems

This review packet requires students to solve systems by substitution, elimination, and graphing. It also has students analyze the slopes of parallel lines to determine the number of solutions. There are also some word problems at the end!
Preview of Systems of Linear Equations Stations with QR Codes

Systems of Linear Equations Stations with QR Codes

These stations are designed to have students practice the elimination, substitution,and graphing methods. There are also some questions involving systems of parallel lines and word problems. The QR codes on the student answer sheets are for students to check their answers as they go!
Preview of Simultaneous Equations (Systems)

Simultaneous Equations (Systems)

These notes are an introduction to systems in 8th grade math.
Preview of Slope Formula Template

Slope Formula Template

This template is meant to go in a sheet protector and for students to write on the sheet protector with a dry-erase marker. This allows students to see the importance of parenthesis (especially when you have a negative coordinate) in solving to find the slope!
Preview of TED Talk Video Worksheet: The Myth behind the "Math Brain"

TED Talk Video Worksheet: The Myth behind the "Math Brain"

This video worksheet goes along with a wonderful TED Talk that explains that there is no such thing as having a "math brain". I did this activity on the second day of school to help students develop a growth mindset when it comes to math. Here is the link to the video: TED Talk
Preview of Factoring Reference Sheet w/ Examples

Factoring Reference Sheet w/ Examples

This reference sheet walks students through the process of basic factoring. It walks them through factoring by finding the greatest common factor, finding the difference between two perfect squares, and factoring trinomials.
Preview of Create a Heart on your TI-83/84 Calculator

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.
Preview of Solving Systems - The Substitution Method

Solving Systems - The Substitution Method

This reference sheet walks students through the process of solving a system by using the substitution method. An example is completed as the steps are stated, providing students with an example as they work through their own problems.
Preview of Systems: Parallel Lines Group Worksheet

Systems: Parallel Lines Group Worksheet

This worksheet is meant for groups to work together to determine how many solutions a system has. They will need to rearrange equations into slope-intercept form, graph the system, and determine the solution. The aim of this activity is for students to understand that a system with parallel lines ends up with no solutions.
Preview of Systems - Parallel Lines

Systems - Parallel Lines

This is a guided notes worksheet for an introduction to systems of parallel lines. The box at the end of the notes is for students to conclude what they discovered about parallel lines and their slopes.
Preview of Systems: Where do the Lines Intersect? HW

Systems: Where do the Lines Intersect? HW

This homework assignment requires students to rearrange equations into slope-intercept form, graph systems, and determine the point at which they intersect. For the first problem, they will also have to verify that the solution works with both equations.
Preview of Factoring Flow Chart

Factoring Flow Chart

This factoring flow chart helps students to know where to start and where to go when factoring. There is a separate Slide-Divide-Slide reference sheet in my store! Happy Factoring!

Experience

I am a current 8th Grade Math Teacher in a rural school district in New York State. This is my second year teaching 8th grade, and I have also taught Algebra, 6-8 ENL, and I was a math interventionist.

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.
