Investigating Points, Lines, and Planes Activity
This is a great activity I usually use the 2nd day of my Geometry classes. The first day they learned about points, lines, and planes, and were given a brief explanation on how to draw figures. For this activity I have the students work in groups of 2 or 3 and give them notecards, string, scissors, and tape (optional). They are required to "create" each statement using these materials. I walk around the room and sign off when they have it correct. I do NOT help them. I just say yes or no.

Translations, Rotations, and Reflections on the Coordinate Plane Quiz
Geometry Quiz over translations, rotations, and reflections on the coordinate plane. This is a medium level difficulty quiz. It does not have any difficult questions, but it does a good job of assessing if students understand the important concepts of these 3 transformations. Can be used as a review of the 3 transformations also.

Area & Perimeter Old Maid
To play the game you make copies of the 2 problem sheets on construction paper. Then you make one copy of the boy at the board (the old maid card). I usually make 10 sets of cards. Each set of cards needs 1 old maid. To play the game students need to be in groups of 3. Each student gets 7 cards. When they first get the cards, they see if they have any pairs. Have the group members verify the pairs. When no more pairs can be made, a student 1 picks a card from student 2. Students 1 check

Teaching style
Each school that I have taught in has been considered a "low performing" school and I have always worked with students that come in lacking prior knowledge and the motivation to be successful.
I create and use a lot of activities and games that help keep my students engaged. A co-worker of mine calls me, "The Game Queen."
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was a Level 5 teacher for the 2011-2012 in Tennessee, with some of the highest scores in Algebra 2 for the school district (which included my inclusion class)
My own education history
I graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School in 1994. I attended Florida State University and earned my Bachelors degree in December 1998 for Curriculum and Instruction: Mathematics Education (6-12).
Masters, Mathematics Education K-8, University of Alaska Southeast.
Additional biographical information
