Practicing Powers & Exponents Dice Game
Students will use dice to play a quick and fun game to create a power, write in expanded form and then in standard form. Points are awarded based on the value in standard form. Winner is the player with most points at the end of nine rounds (or however many you have time for). Makes a great "earlier finisher" activity, station activity, or activity to practice or review with exponents. Have fun!

Experience
I began teaching fifteen years ago after being a stay at home mom. I began as a math coach and progressed to teaching in the 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade regular education and special education classrooms as well as Algebra I.
Teaching style
I focus on forming meaningful relationships with my students to gain their trust and understand how I can teach them best. So many students come to middle school with the notion that they "can't do math" and I aim to show them that learning math is fun and every student is good at something when it comes to pre-algebra skills. I keep students actively engaged in a variety of learning and discovery activities and try to make each class different from the previous day. I try to incorporate technology as much as possible - middle schoolers love it! Most recently, I have focused on incorporating stations into my classes to provide for specific remediation and enrichment. I am always looking for new teaching strategies and activities for today's ever-changing students.
