About the store
In this ever changing world in which we all toil, I teach Math, Gifted and Talented Electives, and sometimes Multimedia. I currently teach middle school, but have also taught elementary and high school students, and 200 and 400 level math courses. I have also delivered professional development programs on conceptualizing large numbers (you know, like Graham's Number and others that make a googol seem like 0), and work at Rutgers University in the summers coordinating a program for gifted high schoolers.

Fractals Activity - Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski Triangle
Great packet for the week before break aimed at Algebra 2 and Precalculus. Introduce students to fractals. Study and explore the Koch Curve and the Sierpinski Gasket using various Geometry and Algebra topics including triangles and midsegments, dilations and transformations, perimeter, area, Pascal's Triangle, sequences and series, and the concept of a limit even creeps in under the radar.
Good for groups.

Algebra 2, Geometry, PreCalculus
Discover the Equation of a Circle
This is a collaborative (4-per-group) discovery lesson through which students will derive the equation of a circle using the 16 points from the unit circle, distance formula, Pythagorean Theorem, and/or special right triangles.
Includes a bellringer warm-up, lesson notes (good if you're being observed), list of supplies, clearly written directions throughout, and a homework worksheet, graphs for the students.
Supplies you may need: transparencies, markers, rulers.

Quadratic Match Game
A simple matching game for up to 30 students!
Easy to play review for quadratic equations.
Each student gets a card with a quadratic equation, a discriminant, or a graph.
Then he/she needs to find the other 2 students whose cards all match.
A successful match is an equation, discriminant, and graph for the same function.
Get kids up and out of their seats and moving around!
They'll automatically start working together to find their partners.
30 seconds of explanation for up to 30 minutes of a

Teaching style
The best way to sum me up is: I'm the type of teacher that wishes students a Happy Monday. :-)
Awards & shining teacher moments
Had the humble privilege of teaching a 1-2-1 student for 5 years starting in 4th grade, which included AP Calculus BC in 6th grade.
Advised a junior of mine to look at NJIT. She applied and received a full scholarship to the NJIT Dorman Honors College.
Was once told, "You're the first teacher to make me feel intelligent."
With students like that, who needs trophies and certificates?
