About the store
Differentiation equals success for all. Not every student learns at the same rate and has the same abilities. Learning can occur at many different levels, and it is vital that all students grow as critical thinkers, problem solvers, and learners. I offer different levels of tasks and assessments to ensure success for all students and make myself available to help in any way possible. I will continue to research and create new and better ways of allowing my students to reach their full potential and am always seeking innovative ways to help students succeed in my classroom. Not only do I want them to be successful, but I want them to enjoy learning along the way.
I model the importance of education by constantly furthering my education as well. I am proud to have earned a marketing degree, an early childhood education degree, a middle grades education degree, a master’s degree in early childhood education, a specialist degree in curriculum and instruction, and my gifted endorsement.

Clue Words
This is a document that will allow the students to know exactly which clue words are commonly used in algebra and which operation matches those clue words. It is very easy to understand this chart, and it is extremely helpful when teaching translating verbal phrases into algebraic expressions. This is also helpful in lower grades when teaching translating a word problem into a math sentence in order to solve the word problem.

Find the Error - Differentiated Solving Equations
This is an activity that I created for my students to find the mistake in the equation that has been solved incorrectly. I used common errors when creating the solutions to help them see the mistakes commonly made. There are two different levels of activities so that you can differentiate the lesson. I had the students work alone to solve the problems first, and then share with their groups. If there was any discrepancy, they looked in the answer folder on their tables to see the correct answe

Characteristics of Parent Functions
I looked all over for a chart that shows the characteristics of the parent functions and did not come up with anything that included everything I needed so I created this chart. It is six pages with each parent function on a separate page. The characteristics are domain, range, interval of increase, extrema,end behavior, y intercept, x intercept, rate of change, and symmetry. This was extremely helpful for my students when they were comparing the parent functions using a Venn diagram and stud

The Book of ABC Alliterations
This is a funny must have book of alliterations. An alliteration is a collection of words that share the same beginning sound. Each letter of the alphabet is showcased on its own page in this enjoyable book. As you read each humorous page, you will see the thoughtfully designed illustration that brings it alive. For example, you will meet jellyfish jumping out a jar of javelin. This is also a great way to teach letter sounds as well as rhymes as successive pairs of alliterations are also rhy
