Are you looking for a fun way to review math concepts from your geometry unit? This space-themed activity is the perfect way to captivate students as they tackle challenging math problems. Each of the problems is modeled after common-core, standardized test questions. This product covers the following topics as they relate to 4th grade standards: •Classifying two-dimensional shapes •Identifying parallel and perpendicular lines •Identifying right, acute and obtuse angles •Recognizing line of sy
This is an excellent way to help build students’ fraction fluency. Additionally, this game requires students to think critically as they strategically ask narrowing questions. This product includes two game boards, a student scaffold, Teacher and Student instructions, and a question tracker for accountability. It also comes with Black and White copies. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• You might also like:Hands On GeometryGeometry Bump Gam
This is a fun and unique game that helps students with their equivalent fraction fluency. Students take turns building off of each other's cards, trying to get 4 in a row. In order to place a card, there must be at least one side that has an equivalent match. It can be played with 2-4 players and it can be played from any direction. The fractions are based off of equivalent fractions found within twelfths so it includes twelfths, sixths, fourths, thirds, halves, and wholes. The fraction place
This bundle is packed with fun and engaging geometry games. The following products are included: Guess My Polygon: The game is played basically liked Guess Who. Students take turns asking questions - the catch is that they can only ask questions about geometric characteristics. For example, a student could ask "Does your polygon have line symmetry?" or "Does your polygon have a right angle?" or "Does your polygon have any parallel lines?" Students eliminate figures until they have narrowed their
This product comes with two separate activities: Build It! is a series of shape cards including line segment, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, acute angle, obtuse angle, straight angle, reflex angle, square, rhombus, rectangle, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, right triangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. On the front of the cards is the figure name, on the back is a definition with a picture so that students can check their answers. Al
These two games are an excellent way to help students accurately identify geometric figures. In both games, there are a total of 24 geometric figures, including point, line segment, ray, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, intersecting lines, acute angle, obtuse angle, straight angle, reflex angle, square, rhombus, rectangle, equilateral triangle, isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, right triangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, pentagon, hexagon, and octagon. In order to get the complete deck, y
This is a fun way for students to learn their geometric figures. It also helps them to think critically about the characteristics that define these shapes. This aligns perfectly with the standard to classify 2-dimmensional shapes based on presence or absence of geometric characteristics. It also helps students think about symmetry. This product comes with 2 different games. 1.) Geometry Bump: This game helps students to identify different figures, including angles, lines, and polygons. 2.) P

Teaching style
I love to teach students how to think. Once they know how to think, there are endless opportunities. I am also a firm believer in finding ways to make learning fun - incorporating games, projects, collaboration and anything else that pulls in the kids.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was selected to be on the Fulton County Technology Leadership Forum. After going through extensive training, I was able to present at our county's technology fare. I also served on our school's Governance Council and many other school and district leadership committees.
My own education history
I did my k-12 schooling in Fort Collins, CO. After graduating, I studied at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. After floating around through about 5 different majors, I finally found my calling in Elementary Education.
Additional biographical information
I have a wife and 4 kids, ranging from elementary to high school. I love to read, build things and basically anything outdoors.
