Pi day is March 14th! These are the perfect addition to your instruction! Pi is a name given to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter.

About the store

Experience

I have been in public city schools in the Twin Cities for 11 years now. I am a licensed k-6 generalist teacher with a 5-8 STEM Specialist licensure. I have worked with many levels of children, but mainly in upper elementary and middle school. Most recently I have served as the Math LEAD in our building.

Teaching style

I love to teach with games and hands-on activities. Many of my products include games, sorts, and hands-on ways of learning. All of my products have been tested in my classroom, or by a classroom in my school. My teachers help me edit games and come up with ways to make them better before they are placed online.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Additional biographical information

I have served as a mentor for many new teachers as well as lead teacher for my content area and grade level teams. I LOVE hosting student teachers in my classroom and have had at least one every year for the last 5 years. Visit my blog at www.missmathdork.com !
