About the store
I have taught for over 25 years; most of my classroom experience has been at the college level. I have taught 4-8th grade math in multi-level classrooms and Algebra through AP Calculus at the High School level.
I have six children of my own, all with very different abilities in math. Helping them understand math has given me many ideas to use in the classroom and unique ways to explain the material.

Equivalent Fraction - Number Lines: A Power Point Lesson
This PowerPoint and accompanying notes guide the students to a visual understanding of equivalent fractions on number lines. After seeing the equivalent fractions the students make conjectures about other fractions that may be equivalent and why they may be equivalent.
The PowerPoint presentation is 12 slides and includes values between 0 and 1 with fractions of 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/5. Students see the number lines with these fractional amounts merge and see how they fit together. Students th

Equivalent Fractions: Lowest Terms - a power point lesson
This equivalent fraction power point deals with getting fractions to the lowest terms.
This comes with a power point that shows the steps for reducing fractions to lowest terms, a template for the students to use (this could be glued into an interactive notebook), and worksheets.
Along with the nine premade worksheets, there is a template so that you can make as many as you want with different numbers, make them easier, or more difficult.

Teaching style
I believe that everyone can learn mathematics. I believe that teachers just need to find what makes the student have the ah-ha moment.
Students learn best by seeing, experiencing, and practicing concepts. Each student learns differently, and no tool works for all students.
I teach students with the tools they can best understand, which means I'm always looking for and devising new tools to help the students: TEMPLATES to help them organize their work and the steps necessary, VISUALS to manipulate on their own, VISUALS to demonstrate, REPETITION in writing out work, EXPERIENCES to physically do the problems out.
