About the store
Hi! I'm Erica, a mathematics and special education teacher who is passionate about helping all students access rigorous math instruction.
I create resources designed to support diverse learners, including students with ADHD, autism, and reading difficulties. My goal is to make challenging math concepts more accessible through structured lessons, guided notes, visual supports, and engaging activities.
Through my experience in the classroom, I have developed strategies to support students who struggle with reading, attention, and executive functioning while maintaining high academic expectations. Many of my students benefit from structured instruction, clear expectations, and multiple opportunities to practice concepts.
Many of my resources are designed for Algebra 1 classrooms (Geometry to come), with a focus on scaffolding, clear instruction, and opportunities for students to build confidence as they learn!
I believe that all students can succeed in math when they are given the right tools, structure and encouragement. The resources I create are the same strategies and materials I use in my own classroom to help students develop strong mathematical thinking.
Thank you for visiting my store and supporting teacher-created resources!

Teaching style
My teaching style focuses on clear structure, scaffolding, and active student engagement. I believe students learn best when lessons include a mix of direct instruction, guided practice, discussion, and hands-on activities.
In my classroom I prioritize:
-Guided notes and visual supports
-Think-pair-share discussions
-Error analysis and reasoning tasks
-Scaffolded practice that builds confidence
I design my resources to help students move from concrete understanding to abstract thinking, while ensuring all learners feel supported.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Some of the most rewarding moments in my classroom are when students who previously felt discouraged or intimidated by math begin to see themselves as confident and capable learners.
Watching students gain confidence, explain their reasoning and support one another in solving problems reminds me why I love teaching.
