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.

Solving One Step Equations Pop Quiz
There are 4 different versions (with keys) of an eight question quiz. It can be used as a pop quiz, a pre-assessment quiz, or a review quiz. I have taken the time to make sure that all the quizzes have the exact same type of questions, but different numbers and locations on the quizzes. This quiz is also great because 4 quizzes fit on 1 sheet of paper (for those of you teachers on a paper crunch)! This quiz is great because it can truly give a good understanding of their knowledge of 1 step

Distributive Property & Combining Like Terms 4 x 4 Bingo
This is Bingo game is a great way to review or practice the important skill of simplifying expressions. To start the game, have each student create their own game board using a pen or marker (if they use a pencil, they may try and move their answers to get a bingo quicker). Before I begin the game, I walk around to make sure that all the game boards have been completed and write the numbers 1 to 20 on the board. To play the game, I usually will accept a traditional Bingo, box of 4 together, o

Solving Systems of Equations Relays
There are a total 13 different relays, including solving by substitution, elimination, graphing, systems of inequalities, and linear programming. This is a great activity to use to practice how to do these problems that students find complicated. Students sit in rows or groups and 1 student does one step, then passes the paper to the next person. They may not talk or help each other until they show their answer to you. If their answer is incorrect, then they may work together to fix it. Als

Basic Graphing Coordinates Pop Quiz
This is a quick quiz that would be great to give as a warm-up or pop quiz. It will allow you to assess the students quickly on their understanding of coordinate points and ordered pairs. There are 6 points to graph and 6 points that they have to determine the ordered pair and quadrant (or axis). There are 2 different versions of this quiz that way students have to do their own work and you will easily be able to determine if they cheated. (They usually do not even see if they are copying fro

This is a great way for students to practice using the Distributive Property and simplifying. Students work out a problem (the start problem) find the correct answer, and do the problem attached to the answer. It should make a line of dominos.
Students love these types of activities and it challenges them to find the correct answer.

Introduction to creating and understanding matrices Notes Outline
These notes are used introduce the concept of a matrix and its parts. It does not go into any operations. Instead, it explains the parts of a matrix, how to determine the dimension, how to locate an element, and how to create a matrix from an application problem. It is correlated to Glencoe's Algebra I Book, but can be used for any book or lesson. It starts with an area for the essential question, definitions, examples, and finally an area for the essential question to be answered. The head

This graphic organizer is great to use as a review of the more difficult 2-step equations. These are the problems that I usually find students struggle with the most. I suggest copy it on a different color than white (students love this for some reason) and possibly markers or colored pencils. If you pass out markers, tell them to work it out on a separate paper before putting it on the graphic organizer (just in case they are wrong). You could go over the problems one-by-one yourself, or yo

This worksheet is an excellent way for students to practice the fundamentals of graphs and functions. The first 8 problems are graphs that require the students to create a story that fits the graph. The last 8 problems are stories that the students have to create a graph for and label the axis appropriately. A great start to students truly understanding how graphs and functions work.

I have created 8 sets of 10 different problems to help student practice the Distributive Property. After teaching this concept and some practice on it, I will do these speed trials in class. Students love it and after doing several of them they begin to see improvements.
Procedure: Pass out 1 set of 10 problems to each student, making sure that they are faced down and that the students don't try and get a head start by peaking. Also, make sure that each student has the same problems (other

Domain, Range, and Is it a function? Cards
This is a great activity to do once you have taught how to find the domain, range, and determining functions. I used it as a warm-up after the lesson had been taught. You give each student a set of the cards (I recommend copying them on different colors of paper, that way they aren't as easy to get mixed up). The first thing you can do is have the students seperate them into 2 columns, 1 for functions, the other for nonfunctions. Once they have them seperated, you can have them find the doma

These are three different relays that student do to practice slope-intercept form. They are given an equation, and each step has a student do something to the equation. You can do the relays several different ways. One is that you line your students up in rows and give the paper to the first student in each row. They are not allowed to talk to each other, just pass the paper back when they have completed their step. When they get the paper, they can check the previous work, but they can onl

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).
