Systems of Equations Scavenger Hunt
In this activity students will solve systems of linear equations and "hunt" for the answer around the room. This activity is self-checking and includes an answer key. A student recording sheet is also included to allow students to show their work and turn in for assessing/grading. Activity includes solving systems of linear equations given a word problem, 2 equations, or a graph. Each problem asks for a specific value such as x, x+y, or number of solutions. The method of solving is not specifi

Parallel & Perpendicular Lines Investigation
In this activity, students are able to quickly identify which pairs of lines are parallel or perpendicular, write their equations from the graph and answer questions that will guide them to noticing the relationships between the equations of parallel and perpendicular lines. This is a quick activity that review writing equations of lines from a graph and introduces the new concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines. An answer key is provided.

Factoring Trinomials Box Puzzle
A low-teacher-prep activity to practice or review factoring trinomials. Includes trinomials with a > 1 but no GCF and difference of squares. Simply factor each expression and reorganize the squares by aligning the factored and expanded forms to create a new 3x3 box. Easy to grade! Includes a student response sheet that can be used to scaffold for struggling learners and an answer key.

Polynomial Puzzle
This quick assessment tool covers adding, subtracting, & multiplying polynomials and dividing polynomials by a monomial. It works kind of like a one-man relay race in that the student takes one piece of the answer to fill in a missing part of the next question and so on until a final answer is reached. Teachers can quickly determine if a student is able to perform all operations, and if the final answer is incorrect, can work backward to find the mistake(s) and improve learning. It's a little

Maximization Problems
This worksheet includes 8 multiple choice maximum profit problems aligned to NC M1 CCSS A-CED.3 in which students are asked which combination of products would maximize the profit for the company. Students must identify the variables, write out the constraints, and identify the profit statement. Then they will eliminate choices that do not meet the constraints and determine which of the remaining choices maximizes the profit of the company.

Polynomial Operations Graphic Divider
These dividers are meant to be printed two-sided (flip on long edge) and then cut in half to make two dividers. The margins are set to allow both dividers to be hole-punched. I like to print them on card stock and have my students put them in their binder as quick reference sheets or study guides. You might also print them to put in their interactive notebook, but I suggest shrinking a little so they will fit well on the pages.

Experience
I have taught Math 1, Math 2, Honors Math 2, Algebra 2, Foundations of Math 1, Foundations of Math 2, and Honors Discrete Math over my 8 years of teaching.
Teaching style
I'm working on finding a balance between "new" research methods that suggest more activities, more collaboration, more hands-on methods are best and the age-old approach of just good-ol practice. I think it's important to keep students interested, but I honestly believe one of the best ways to get better at math is to practice, practice, practice. With that in mind, I like to use task cards, stations, games, etc. to keep kids practicing without losing their minds looking at another black-n-white worksheet.

Additional biographical information
When I'm not doing math, I'm at home keeping my own two kiddos occupied. When they're in bed I like to research more school stuff (Yes, I'm one of those people!), but I also like to do all manner of crafty things and read.
