About the store
I have 17 years experience in the middle school mathematics classroom. In 2015, I became a District Interventionist and Gifted and Talented Coordinator. In 2020 and 2021, I was also a Virtual Academy Coordinator. I later added the responsibilities of Mathematics Curriculum Coordinator, Building Assessment Co-Coordinator, and Extended School Services Coordinator. In July of 2024, after 27 years in the school system, I officially retired. Retirement for me is not the end of my teaching journey, but just a chapter closed. I choose now to focus on my next chapter as an educator: providing content that supports student learning and teacher efficacy.

Circle Graph Survey
Students conduct a simple survey and display the results in a circle graph. To make it more fun, my students liked to use "What is your favorite ________?" as their survey question. You can provide survey stems like that one or have your students create their own. Students are required to convert Fraction, Decimal, and Percent in order to complete the table and circle graph. Depending on the level of your students, you can differentiate this activity by having some estimate the sections of

Teaching style
As an educational Coordinator and Interventionist, I wore many hats in my dynamic role. I worked with a diverse student population, each with their unique set of challenges, and I find great satisfaction in helping them overcome adversity. It was not just about being an interventionist; it was about being a source of support and empowerment. I've seen students from all walks of life experience success, and it's a privilege to know that I've played a part in their journey. Whether it's through offering guidance, fostering a welcoming environment, or providing the necessary resources, I'm dedicated to making a positive impact in their lives.

Additional biographical information
I'm a loving wife, a proud mother of a son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law starting their journey together, and a dedicated dog mom. When I'm not working on a project, you'll often find me enjoying quality time out and about with my family or cuddling on the couch with my Ruppie-girl. You may also spot me at a local 5k, mostly walking, but improving my time with every race.
