About the store
I try to create activities that contain some kind of meaning or purpose related to real life. I've found that keeping things engaging and relevant is a major key to student buy-in, and thus, student success. A lot of my activities are also based on life experience growing up with family in the special needs community. I look at activities from not only the teacher side (what concepts will be taught) but the family side (how will this make a difference to their future) and the student side (what might they find interesting or boring).

Basic Math Jeopardy

Created by

A full powerpoint Jeopardy game with working action buttons. The categories: Key Words Addition/Subtraction Multiplication/Division Human Calculator Cheese (Potpourri) Fully editable. I have found that customizing the names in activities to those of my students greatly increases buy in. My students can usually play 1 game in a 45 minute class period.

This game is great for general review. Students with special needs frequently need to go back and review those basic arithmetic concepts in order to proceed with grade level material. This jeopardy game goes back to the very basics of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with a few word problems thrown in. Fully functioning power point Jeopardy game.

Experience

I try to create activities that contain some kind of meaning or purpose related to real life. I've found that keeping things engaging and relevant is a major key to student buy-in, and thus, student success. A lot of my activities are also based on life experience growing up with family in the special needs community. I look at activities from not only the teacher side (what concepts will be taught) but the family side (how will this make a difference to their future) and the student side (what might they find interesting or boring).

Teaching style

In teaching EC students, I have found the need for many hands-on activities. I can't stand doing all worksheets and formal notes. We have to get down and dirty with math.

My own education history

I have a Bachelor's in Special Education with a concentration in Math.
