Efficiently Multiplying Rational Numbers
AIM: To multiply fractions more efficiently by simplifying before finding the product.
This product demonstrates how to simplify fractions BEFORE multiplying in a conceptual way so that students can fully understand HOW and WHY this works. This is a good push for higher level learners who are ready for seeing mathematical concepts presented in a variety of ways as well as students who struggle and may find themselves making less computation errors if they are able to work with smaller numbers.

Teaching style
My love of math is contagious in my classroom. I truly enjoy continuously learning new ways to further my own and my students' conceptual understanding of math as it pertains to Common Core State Standards and real-life applications. When you deeply understand math you see the true beauty of the content. I believe in using every minute of class in a purposeful way. My lessons are chock-full of spiraled review, fluency drills, application problems, opportunities for discovery and partner work, differentiated practice, and exit tickets to allow for daily data collection that informs future lessons. As the Math Department Chair of my school, I enjoy working with the very talented members of my Math Team as we continue to grow together as educators, build a rigorous and vertically aligned math curriculum, and experiment with a variety of instructional practices so that we can best serve all of our learners.

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, cycling and reading non-fiction. I am also an animal-lover, which is apparent in many materials that I create for my own practice.
