I have taught for almost 11 years, with Algebra being my favorite subject! I have taught grades 8, 9, and 10, and am currently teaching 9th grade Regular and Pre-AP Algebra 1. I have been on numerous curriculum writing committees covering every level including ESL and RTI. I am involved in many aspects of my school, and I enjoy supporting the AVID program!

Partner Practice: Solve for Y (rewrite to slope-intercept form)

Included in this document is a partner worksheet where students will be practicing solving for y, or rewriting equations in slope intercept form. The worksheet is split into 2 columns. Problems numbered the same will have the same answer, so students can work individually but then check the answer with his or her partner to see if it is correct. My students love these! They get the validation as to whether or not they are correct, they have to find the mistake if the solutions do not match, and

Teaching style

I am going into my fifth year of using interactive notebooks with my students and I absolutely love them! Many of my former students have come back telling me that they use them in their upper level math classes. I also make foldable, use cooperative learning strategies and graphic organizers. I use a lot of color and try to get my students to talk and write about math as much as possible. I incorporate technology when it benefits my students, and I encourage them to solve problems using multiple representations.
