About the store
I've taught 15 years as a secondary mathematics teacher and 3 years as a part-time adjunct instructor at the University level. I've taught all secondary grade levels 9-12. My experience included teaching Geometry, Algebra 1 & 2, Probability & Statistics, College Intermediate Algebra, and Intro to Statistics for Liberal Arts students.
After teaching 15 years, I transitioned to being an Instructional Coach for math, helping teachers strategize and plan new ways to engage students in their classrooms.

Learning Slope: Roof Pitch & Solar Panel Installation
For STEM math and Algebra 1 students: The idea of slope in linear functions as Rise/Run can be valuable in those in home construction. This project explores the idea of slope in an immersive way. Students will use Google Maps to take a street view image of their homes (or neighbors, friends, relatives, really whoever!) and use software to carefully take measurements along the ridges and find angles to help determine the viability for installing solar panels on their roof. Depending on the result

Centers of Triangles - Exploring the Points of Concurrency
A short, independent exploration of the points of concurrency of a triangle - Incenter, Circumcenter and Centroid (Orthocenter not included in this project). Students will use Geogebra (free online diagramming software) on their browsers to construct their points using an easy to follow step-by-step guide.

Vacation Systems! - Build a System of Equations to Compare Vacation Costs!
Students will research 2 vacations using real life costs and travel options, and build linear cost models to compare overall value. They will compare using a system of equations to find the length of the trip where vacation costs would be the same, and use reasoning to explore when costs would become greater or lesser in certain circumstances (systems of inequalities). This project uses real life travel and cost information from online navigation services (Google Maps, Mapquest, etc.) and flight

Teaching style
My Master's degree was in Teaching Mathematics with an Emphasis on Technology. All of my major projects across my classes incorporate the use of technology in some way, from graphing software, probability simulations, to even using Google Maps.
My own education history
I completed my Bachelors and teacher certification from Eastern Michigan University in 2008.
I obtained my Master's from Siena Heights University in 2015.
