I taught all levels of high school math for 20 years. For the past 4 years, I have taught middle school math and HS Algebra.
In the evenings, I teach several math courses at a liberal arts university.
A great resource that combines the topic of simplifying square roots using the quotient rule, as well as rationalizing the denominator. I print on both sides (flip on short edge). Great for Interactive Math Notebooks!
This is a worksheet with 15 practice problems. The first 12 problems require students to explain the transformations or graph shifts from f(x). This is general, and no specific parent functions are discussed. This will allow students to understand that the same shifts occur on each type of function. The last 3 problems require students to graph the quadratic parent function and a transformation.
This is a foldable that helps students see the difference between the three forms of quadratic equations: standard form, vertex form and intercept form. This will also help students differentiate each form. For each example, the coefficients for standard form, the vertex and the x-intercepts are given. Students must choose which information to use when writing each form. This is a great time to introduce the features of the "a" term, since it is part of each form. It is also used as an introdu
This is a graphic organizer that explains how to factor the difference of two squares. It also contains practice problems and common errors made by students. There are also two examples that introduce students to factoring completely (one with a GCF and the other with DOTS twice).
This activity helps students understand if real-world scenarios use exact, approximate, or estimated measurements. I put my students into groups of 3 or 4 and have them discuss how to sort the cards. I use this as a quick formative check to see if the students understand the differences in the three terms.
This activity gets students out of their desks and fully engaged. Students work in pairs to complete 4 "races." They must have their answers checked before moving to the next "race." The first 3 groups to complete all 4 races correctly gets a prize. I usually give a homework pass or a small piece of candy. My students love this activity! It can also be given as seat work.
This is a basic quiz for translations and reflections. It has 10 questions and a bonus.
There are two versions of the quiz to use if needed.
I use this for a quick formative assessment after translations and reflections - before moving on to rotations. Students must draw the figures that are translated and rotated, they must translate words to notations, and find the rule given a pre-image and an image.
This is an introduction to basic End Behavior of functions. This does not go into detail with even or odd functions.
The definition of end behavior is given and explained. It has 3 examples for students to complete.
I made it two pages so you can print it 2-to a page for Interactive math notebooks.
I use this graphic organizer to demonstrate the transformation rules for functions. I chose 3 parent functions: Quadratic, Absolute Value and Exponential.
This is great for interactive notebooks as it gives the general rule and examples.
This document can be used as a study guide, introduction notes, or for Interactive Notebooks. Included are the following:
*Equal vs Congruent notation
*Reflexive and Transitive definitions and examples
*Parallel lines theorems (corresponding and alternate interior) with examples
*Definitions and theorems and how they are used within proofs (congruence, segment bisector, angle bisector, midpoint, perpendicular lines, right angles, supplement postulate, and vertical angles theorem).
*Two example
This packet covers GSE Algebra I Unit I, and it is aligned to the Common Core High School Numbers and Quantities standards.
This packet is great for teachers who are new to teaching the subject, but it can also be used as a great remediation packet for students struggling to understand the concepts.
Each standard is listed and then explained in a language that students can understand. Included are worked-out examples and sample problems. A key is provided.
Topics include:
*Numbers and qua
This is a set of 165 warm-ups that are aligned with the Common Core standards for Algebra I. Each warm-up is labeled with the associated standard. These warm-ups follow the order of the GSE Algebra I (Georgia) curriculum; however, the standards are Common Core and these can be used for any algebra class. This is a great resource!
This comes in both a PDF format and Powerpoint.
Answer Key is also included.
Section 1: Relationships between quantities and expressions
*Accuracy and precisi
Unit 1 in the Common Core Algebra class is made up of several topics. This is a concise review of each standard. Each standard is listed, with an explanation and example problems.
The following pages are practice problems for the students.
This is specifically for GSE Algebra 1; however, it follows the common core standards.
Before teaching arithmetic or geometric sequences, it is important that students understand the notation used.
This is a graphic organizer that allows the students to keep the notation handy when learning about sequences.
This is an excellent way to practice key features and graph transformations of exponential functions.
Students will practice:
a. Horizontal, vertical and reflection transformations
b. Domain and range
c. Equations of horizontal asymptotes
d. End behavior
e x and y- intercepts (For the x-intercepts, we are estimating (not using Logs to solve).
f. Graphing the parent function and the transformed function
You can have students work all 12 problems or differentiate by choosing the problems for t
This is a student race that reviews concepts from Common Core Algebra I Unit 1. This can be completed individually or with groups. I usually make 4 copies and hang them around the room or hallway. Groups can work in any order. They must get each "race" checked before moving to another "race." Any incorrect answers must be corrected before students can move to the new "race".I keep a stamp or sticker to put on each correct race. The student or group who finishes first gets a small prize.
This is 4 pages of "Math Money" that I use for bonus/rewards. There are two pages of $1, one page of $10 and one page of $5.
I give these out when students answer tough math questions, or as prizes when they win classroom games.
The students can collect them to use as bonus at the end of the term or "buy" supplies, such as pencils or erasers. They also work for homework passes.
This is a printable list of the GSE Algebra I Standards. Although they are numbered for Georgia, they follow the Common Core standards.
They are printed one or two standards to a page and large enough to be seen by students. This is a great resource for you to have if you like to display your standards.
The font size varies depending on the length of the standard - but they are large enough for students to see when they are posted.
This foldable has space for students to take notes and draw examples of reflections across the x-axis, the y-axis and the lines y = x and y = -x.
I have used this for 8th grade and 9th grade math classes.
This foldable is for the Coordinate Algebra curriculum. It includes dilations of shapes including vertical and horizontal stretches and shrinks.
You can have your students use their own shapes and then stretch and shrink them on the adjacent graphs.

Teaching style
I don't really have a style. My main goal is to get students involved and alleviate negative thoughts about math.
