About the store
In my first 2 years of teaching, I taught 5th grade self-contained in a small Catholic school in San Antonio, Texas. I spent the next 4 years at a large public school in Bentonville, Arkansas, teaching 3rd and 4th grade math and science for 2 years, 3rd grade only math and science for 1 year, and finally 3rd grade self-contained for 1 year. From there, I moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I taught 4th grade math, reading, and writing in a public school. Now we have settled in St. Louis, MO, where I spent 1 year teaching 5th grade and will now be moving on to 2nd grade!

This is a fun way to help your students build their understanding of arrays and can be used independently or as a game with a partner or small group. It would make a great activity for the 100th day of school, but can be used any day of the year too! Students roll two dice and use the numbers to create and color an array, trying to fill as many of the 100 squares as they can.

Teaching style
I very much believe in the power of discovery-based learning, especially in my math instruction. Through the use of carefully created word problems with intentional and specific numbers, and guided student conversations about their problem-solving methods,I have watched students of all levels make sense of math and thrive. I love making math hands-on and engaging for all students.
My own education history
I majored in psychology and minored in Education, Schooling, and Society at the University of Notre Dame. I then received a Master of Education degree also from the University of Notre Dame. I have been thoroughly trained on the use of Extending Children's Mathematics (ECM).
