Math Journal Prompts - Middle School
Over the year I have kept a list of the Math Journal Prompts I use for my students. Most are very quick writes to add writing into my class.
I also use these for "Points" towards a class reward. Each one a student completes outside of class is worth 1 point.
There are 40 prompts total!

Math Centers: Surface Area and Volume
These centers are great for getting students to deconstruct surface area and volumes and expand their understanding beyond memorizing formulas. I've also included writing prompts with each center.
There are a total of 2 centers with this activity. Depending on class size, I usually have the students in 4 or 6 groups. I also have some of the 3D shapes out visuals.

Volume and Surface Area Match!
This fun worksheet matches objects description with their surface are and volume. It is a great check, reminder, or wrap-up!
You can also print and cut out the descriptions and answers and have the students find the matches by moving the pieces. This allows students to use their hands and they have to pay attention to units to know what is surface area and what is volume.
Answer key included.

Cube Nets
Here are 8 different images of cube nets. I use these to paste into presentations or use for problems on worksheets, homework,...
I also will print them, cut them out, and pass out as an intro to various geometry units that involve cubes. The goal is to fold the net into a cube. Not all of the nets make cubes! This is a quick way to get students engaged.
*Not all fold to cubes*

About the store
Experience
I have been teaching for almost 8 years now and have taught middle school and high school math. Most of my experience has been in Colorado, but I began my teaching career in the south.
Teaching style
I am all about experimental learning. I want my students to experience math, not just memorize it. My classroom is always busy, but organized and full of learning.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have seen 100% of my students grow and advance. Last year, I had 81% of my students earn a proficient or advanced rating on the state standardize test with 0% fail. I have received the honor of being named Math Teacher of the Year in 2011 at my school.
My own education history
I have a bachelor's degree in Engineering, which allows me to actually answer the common question of "When will I ever use this in life?" I know all you fellow math nerds have heard these words in your own classrooms. During college, while teaching a business calculus course, I realized my love for sharing my knowledge. After college, I began teaching while earning my license and just completed my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Urban Learning and Teaching for English Language Learners.
Additional biographical information
I cannot get enough of working with young adults, so I volunteer as a mentor for a program working with students who are at risk for not graduating high school. Last May, I saw my first "mentee" walk at her graduation and sent her off to college in August. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter and enjoy spending the rest of my time with my husband and 2 kids.
