About the store

I have over 13 years experience teaching high school math. I started my career teaching in Quincy, Florida for 2 years. After that I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina for 3 years. I tried it back home where I grew up in Juneau, Alaska for 2 years. After leaving Alaska, I moved back to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where I taught for 4 years and I was the department chair for the last 3 years. I taught in Clarksville, TN for 2 years and was a Level 5 teacher my final year there. I recently graduated with my Masters in Mathematics Education, K - 8, and I currently teach at Juneau Douglas High School.

Coordinate Plane Areas

Created by

Lexie

This activity has 6 problems of shapes on coordinate planes. You can copy the worksheet onto cards and cut them up so students have the opportunity to share cards and get up to work together. The activity requires the students to find the area and perimeter of each figure by using the distance formula and recognize the base and height of the different shapes. Even though it is just like a worksheet, if you you copy it on construction paper and cut them into cards, students will think that it

Surface Area and Volume of Spheres Dominos

Created by

Lexie

This is a dominos game that is a great way for Geometry students to practice using their formulas for spheres. They are given the radius, diameter, circumference, area, or surface area and have to find the indicated measure. They are not given the volume and have to work backwards because they have not been taught how to do the 3rd root. But all other possible combinations are there. Before cutting it out, put a letter on the left of each card (not in alpha order). This will make it easy f

Area & Perimeter Old Maid

Created by

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

Experience

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

I love teaching and I have always been able to make connections with my students and peer teachers. I hope that you enjoy my activities, worksheets, tests, and anything else.
