The Logo Project – Transformations in Graphic Design
Students love this project because it incorporates graphic design while learning transformations. The Logo Project works very well as a summative assessment after teaching transformations. It can also be used as an Anchor Lesson so students have a frame of reference before learning about transformations.

Famous Mathematicians Research Project
The Famous Mathematicians Project is a great multidisciplinary approach to research. Students become exposed to great mathematical minds and discover the "whys" and the "hows" behind much of what is taken for granted in math.

Exit Tickets that Cultivate Critical Thinkers
Lifelong learners are reflective. It is critical to include moments in the classroom that allow students to know they know. Using Webb's Depth of Knowledge (DOK), these exit tickets provide for high level thinking in a fun way. Students love them!
DIRECTIONS:
Use the following reflection prompts to cultivate deep critical thinking in your students. You can print them out on cardstock and attach them on a ring for small groups to use during debriefing.

Teaching Numeracy Book Study Metacognition Log
I am hearing that Teaching Numeracy: 9 Critical Habits to Ignite Mathematical Thinking is the topic of several book studies going on across the county. Thank you for that!
I thought it might be useful to have a guide to help facilitate these group book-studies and PLCs. I created it using a constructivist approach to learning, so it represents sound educational pedagogy and knowledge of the brain.
I am also always available to answer questions and even join your group. Happy Reading!

Frequent Contact
Frequent Contact is a great way to activate and build background knowledge in mathematics. It is also a worthwhile formative assessment.
Sample of activity:
DIRECTIONS:
1. As a group, read and discuss each of the words below.
2. As you discuss the words, use the three column headings to decide which terms would have the most “frequent contact” with which column heading and write the words in that column.
3. It is possible that certain words may fit in more than one column.

Teaching style
Her educational philosophy can be summed up as such, "Why NOT reinvent the wheel. Yesterday's lessons will not suffice for students to succeed in tomorrow's world. We need to meet students, not just where they are, but where they need to be. There is great potential in every child. It is our job to empower students to discover that potential and possess the tenacity and self-efficacy to reach it. "
