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.

Classifying Polygons in the Coordinate Plane
This activity is a great practice sheet for students just learning to classify polygons such as quadrilaterals and triangles in the coordinate plane, and justify their choices. Includes 6 problems with various polygons, a grid to plot each set of vertices, choices for the type of polygon, and choices for their reasoning, as well as a space for other reasons that may not be listed. An answer key is also included.

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.
Awards & shining teacher moments
National Board Certification in AYA Mathematics.
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.
