About the store

This is my 30th year in mathematics education. I currently teach 8th grade mathematics and have spent the majority of my career in middle school settings. Over the years, I’ve taught a wide range of courses including 5th grade self-contained, 6th grade math, pre-algebra, algebra, math intervention, and math enrichment. My experience reflects a deep commitment to supporting students at various levels of mathematical understanding.

Dot Card - Number Talks

Created by

Mathmematics Through Numeracy

This is a set of number talk dot-cards. Dot-cards are a good introductory activity for introducing number talks to your students. Number talks are a great activity for students to do to help assist them with their number sense. The basic idea behind number talks is to have students discuss various ways to solve calculation problems. Dot cards help introduce that concept to students by allowing them to be able to visualize different ways to groups objects together. To use them you simply s

Identifying Answers of System of Inequalities - Common Core Style

Created by

Mathmematics Through Numeracy

This is three different versions of the same activity. Students are shown a system of inequalities and the graph it produces on a coordinate grid. There are 10 different points placed onto the graph and students are asked to sort the 10 points on a T chart into either answers or not answers. After they sort them on the T chart the students are asked to provide justifications for some of their beliefs. I have included three different versions of the activity as well as answer examples for a

Mathmematics Through Numeracy

These are copies of something I was asked to create to go into the calendar for our school. We were able to include anything into the students planners that we wanted and as a math department we decided to include these. I personally hand created everything that is on these pages and I thought maybe someone else out there would be able to find a use for them. These pages cover the following topics: - basic fraction operations - various geometry formulas - fraction/decimal/percent conversions

Distributive Property - Modeling & Writing

Created by

Mathmematics Through Numeracy

This is another activity, to the first one on I put up on TPT, that I created based upon a teaching method that I employ to assist my students in understanding how to apply the distributive property. Frequently when I teach my students how to use the distributive property with just multiplication techniques the students often obtain an incorrect expression. Example: 2(3x + 4) is equivalent to 6x + 8 but often my students will give 6x + 4 because they will incorrectly only multiply 2(3x). T

Bowling for Numbers - Order of Operations

Created by

Mathmematics Through Numeracy

This is an activity that engages students in working with order of operations problems. When I tried it out with my students, they were pretty excited about it, and I was surprised to find that every student was working on the problems. The basics of this activity are that students are trying to use three numbers to create the numbers 1 through 10. The students roll three dice and then use those numbers to write math expressions, that are properly written to simplify to the given number. The

Finding the Area of Compound Objects

Created by

Mathmematics Through Numeracy

This file was created to assist my 6th grade students to find the areas of compound objects. What I discovered while working with them was that they struggled to see that compound objects are created using a variety of shapes that they are already familiar with. By using the animation capabilities within PowerPoint I was able to create this file which shows the students the separate objects coming together to create the compound shape. Within this file I review the formulas for the area of: -

Experience

Teaching style

Over the past two years, I have transformed my approach to teaching mathematics by fully embracing the Building Thinking Classrooms framework developed by Peter Liljedahl. My students work in small, randomly assigned groups at vertical whiteboards placed around the room. This method is the foundation of my instruction—not just an occasional problem-solving activity—and is used to deliver nearly all of the course content. The result is a vibrant classroom energized by music, movement, and deep mathematical thinking.
