Multi-Step Inequalities Practice Problems
Included are 6 sets of problems that involve solving multi-step inequalities. Each page has one multi-step inequality for students to solve and graph the solution of. It also includes an application problem for them to write an inequality for and solve.
I used these problems with a spinner on my SmartBoard, having each student spin it and they were to complete the card with the letter they spun. Alternatively, you could post these problems around the room and have students work them out in pa

Consecutive Integer Word Problems Color By Number
In this activity, students will write and solve equations to determine a set of numbers that meets a certain description including consecutive integers, consecutive even integers, and consecutive odd integers. Each problem will require solving an equation with more than 2 steps, some with distribution. After solving the problems, students will create their own color key to design the included mandala. Answer key is included. This product includes an Easel version with instructions amended to

Volume & Conversions Project - Water Supply Problems
This is a group project that leads students through a hypothetical situation in which they must calculate the volume of a compound object, convert it to gallons and given a rate determine the amount of time its contents will last. This is a complex situation which should encourage team reasoning and discussion. It covers multiple standards through a real-world application. It also incorporates a visual presentation component that should help struggling students find a way to be part of the p

Experience

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.

My own education history
I am a National Board Certified teacher with a B.S. in Mathematics Education 9-12 from UNC-Pembroke and an M.A. in Mathematics Education 5-12 from Western Governor's University.
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.
