Simplifying & Renaming Fractions: Jam-Packed Sheet with Examples

Help! I am running out of copy paper! This is why I decided to create some problem and example sheets that the students do not write on. I am teaching the fraction unit at this time, so the first sheet is simplifying and renaming fractions. The sheet includes an example for each type of problem, some problems, and the answers in random order. The sheet is in the form of a trifold. You or the students may fold into thirds, and, then, the students will only look at part of sheet rather than

Adding Fractions with Unlike Denominators Using LCD Mini-Poster

This product is designed for the students to complete a problem of renaming fractions so that they may be added together. The organizer should be used at least once with the students to show them how it may be used. I intentionally left off a lot of explanation on the organizer because I wanted to make the organizer simple and not "busy" . This method uses the least common denominator of the two fractions. There are spaces wherever numbers are to be written.

Prime Factoring Graphic Organizer Set - 5 Choices in One Product!

My students struggled with prime factorization, so I created 5 different graphic organizers for them to use while learning the method.

One organizer shows the method so that the students may refer to it while they are working. The second organizer is especially for visual learners as it gives a completed example with space for the students to do two more factorizations. The thir

About the store

Experience

I taught mathematics for 19 years at urban middle and high schools in Michigan. I have taught summer bridge classes, remedial math classes, pre-algebra, algebra 1, algebra 2, pre-calculus, and geometry.

Teaching style

I vary the strategies often so that the lessons reach as many students as possible. Although I often use direct instruction for new material, I try to use student discovery and inductive reasoning as much as I can. I try to make learning fun, relevant and rewardingly successful. I use a lot of graphic organizers and other learning strategies while teaching to help scaffold the students to proficiency.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My school's "Teacher of the Month" for January 2015 Served on Instructional Leadership Team from 2011-2013

My own education history

Teaching was my third career and is by choice! I have a chemical engineering background, was a patent agent, and, now, am a secondary math teacher. I have a Masters in the Art of Teaching with an emphasis on Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. Besides my certification in math, I am also certified to teach chemistry.

Additional biographical information

I taught mathematics for 19 years in urban districts in Michigan. I have taught mathematics for 6th through 12th grades. I enjoy planning and creating activities and exercises. Usually, I create activities, worksheets, etc. because I am not able to readily find what I am looking for online or in textbooks. My students range widely in skill and knowledge within each class, so I find that I create scaffolding-type exercises as well as assignments that involve higher-ordering thinking.
