Writing Equations of Linear Piece-Wise Defined Functions From A Given Graph
Five graphs of various linear/constant piece-wise defined functions are given. Students will derive and write the equations of these functions from the given graphs. Solutions are included. This sheet can serve as extra practice, homework, or as an assessment.

Geometry & Fractals Project - The Pentagonal Fractal Construction Process
This geometry fractal presentation is designed to show students how to construct a regular pentagonal fractal. The initial construction process shows how to work from "larger" to "smaller" to demonstrate the fractal self-similarity process, whereas the end of the presentation shows how to work from "smaller" to "larger" to demonstrate the same self-similarity process. This presentation also shows how to construct a 3-D pentagonal fractal (dodecahedron), which makes for a great project!

Piece-Wise Defined Functions Part 2 (Domain Restrictions on Linear Functions)
This set of problems is PART 2 in a series of worksheets designed to help students better understand and master the concept of DOMAIN RESTRICTIONS on linear functions that will lead to a better grasp of Piece-Wise Defined Functions. This worksheet deals mainly with domain restrictions and graphs of such equations; the Piece-Wise Defined concept is introduced at the end of this worksheet. A solution key is included, and every problem/solution is presented in an individual format (slide) for pr

Concreting A Driveway
This product is a real-world application that uses both Geometry and Dimensional Analysis to determine both the "amount" and the "cost" of the concrete required when pouring a driveway. Great visual graphics and solutions are included. There are also two extension problems (with solutions) that build from the original problem. This is a problem that goes more in-depth than your typical text book problems.

About the store
Experience
I have been a mathematics educator for 34+ years, having served 6 of those years as a System Mathematics Specialist and 28 of those years in the classroom. I am currently retired and loving it! I have also taught several different college/university level math courses throughout the years in night school and in summer school.
Teaching style
I believe that students should be taught mathematics conceptually, verbally, algebraically, geometrically, numerically, analytically, and technologically! All students learn differently, therefore, I strive to vary the ways that I present and teach various mathematical concepts.
