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.

Graphs of Functions Overview / Review
Graphs of Functions: Comprehensive Overview & ReviewThis Graphs of Functions Overview & Review is a complete, concept-driven resource designed to help students build strong graph interpretation and analysis skills across multiple function types. Ideal for Algebra 2 and Precalculus classrooms, this review emphasizes understanding why graphs behave the way they do and how to sketch them. Students begin with Parent Function Basics, examining each graph’s domain, range, asymptotes, and end behav

One Step Equation Template
The students can physically place the operation on both sides of the equation using this template. It also comes with the words to an original order of operations song that goes to the tune of London Bridges. The template is for teachers who like to use single line steps. I have found the single line or horizontal way seems to help for later when taking roots to solve problems. This template helps the students get used to the pattern before writing it out. They can glue it into an interacti

Measuring and Finding Volumes of Rectangular Prisms
This worksheet provides examples of objects to have the students practice measuring while they find volumes of rectangular prisms. It comes with a blank template as well in case you would like to choose your own objects. Students also are challenged to find the volume of a rectilinear object.

Place Value Activity: Secret Message
Test your student's knowledge of place values, large numbers, and expanded form in this fun activity. Students answer a series of questions about number sense and get a code. Students then find out what encouragement Einstein has.
Don't forget to let me know how this item worked for you, or if there are any changes you think I should make.

Numbers Chart: 0-129
This chart keeps all the numbers with the same tens place value on the same line. There are three different borders included.
This allows students struggling with the tens place concept to better see the groupings.

Experience
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.

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.
