About the store
My teaching experience includes 19 years, in senior high and middle school, in public schools, private schools and a charter school. I taught math, math intervention, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, earth science, physical science and physics.
My volunteering in schools lasted 28 years, spanning K - 12, with most of the years in elementary and middle school. I have been a classroom helper, taught before or after school remediation or enrichment, coached for MathCounts, science fairs and Science Olympiad as well as chaperoned for field trips and competitions.

Students may compete as individuals or as teams. The teacher dec

Flash Cards for Operations With Square Roots - Set 2
Included in Set 2 are 3 forms of task cards, each with 20 True or False problems. The problems may be in the form of sq rt 64 + sq rt 36 > 12 or 15 - sq rt of 16 < 10. Students may compete in small groups - they will find that competing motivates them to memorize the squares of 1 - 15 so they may recognize the square root of the perfect squares for 1 - 15. If you want a quiet activity, spread task cards around the room and students write their answers on the Student Answer Sheet that I

Teaching style
My teaching, and now my tutoring, has morphed to incorporating visuals and hands-on activities, mental math and worksheets to help students 'see' the math concept, understand it and then practice the topic. I also have developed over 250 sets of flash cards for students to practice dozens of topics.
My goal for having a store in TpT is to provide teachers and homeschoolers with very helpful materials so they can help students 'see' and understand the concepts and then practice, practice, practice to develop speed and accuracy.
