About the store
I have been a math coach for 10 years and I am fortunate to work with students and teachers at every elementary grade level. After 20 years in education, I still have fun teaching and learning every day. Not only do I get to learn from my students, but from other teachers too. We should all have more experience in the classrooms of our co-workers! :)

Distributive Property Game: Multiplication Shake & Spill Hands on Fact Fluency!
This fun shake and spill game builds understanding of the distributive property and is a fun way to learn multiplication facts. Players record each round on part part whole models or tape diagrams and this reinforces big ideas! This is essentially is the foundation for algebra and one of the most effective ways of developing mental math skills in third through sixth grade. It comes naturally to some, while most need MANY opportunities to explore this important idea. Shake and spills are probab

Introduction to Algebraic Equations Game: Enrichment project Among us
Distance Learning/Printable: This multi-level, low floor/high ceiling project can challenge your advanced third graders AND your bored 7th graders in school or at home. Students create their own values for a variety of equations modeled by their favorite characters. Then they create their own equations from scratch using any characters or clip art they like, or the included images. Finally, those students who make it through the first two levels, begin to write the algebraic equations from th

Experience
I have been a math coach for 10 years and I am fortunate to work with students and teachers at every elementary grade level. After 20 years in education, I still have fun teaching and learning every day. Not only do I get to learn from my students, but from other teachers too. We should all have more experience in the classrooms of our co-workers! :)
Teaching style
I try to give as little information as necessary, and lead students to make their own connections through questioning. Ideally, I want to FIND or CREATE a reason for them to want or need to solve a problem, and then figure out how to solve it with as little interference from me as possible. I focus on the relationships in math. I want my students to develop number sense and reasoning and I believe we will get there if we focus on the BIG IDEAS... the most useful ways to take numbers apart and put them back together in different ways to suit our purposes at the time. And hopefully have a little fun doing it!
Awards & shining teacher moments
The honor of teaching future generations?? I finished third in a race once? And I estimated the number of jellybeans in the jar in sixth grade!

Additional biographical information
I am ALL ABOUT THE MATH, but I still love writing and vocabulary! I am an avid Scrabble player and I have written a YA fiction novel. I have created all of my own teaching resources over the years and I can't seem to stop! Together, my husband and I have five children (and five jobs). Occasionally we eat and sleep. But not tonight.
