Real World Math: Road Trip Project
Students will have to choose a car to take on a road trip with their friends then complete a series of questions relating to their trip. My students have done this project for the last three years and really enjoy it each year! Modifications can be made from year to year as gas, cars, and other costs change with very little effort. Students can do with or without a calculator at the teachers discretion and/or student ability.

Morning or Afternoon Tutoring Pass Template (15/page)
Use this template to let your students attend tutoring before or after school and remember what times and or dates you offer tutoring. Changes can be made to the first cell, then copy and pasted to the remaining cells with ease. This also serves as a pass into the buildings before or after school if needed. I usually have a student staple it into their agenda so it is not lost and easily accessible.

If you've ever had to leave a substitute teacher in charge of your room and felt like you didn't quite have everything they needed to know, this should help you solve that issue.

New Student Survey (Editable)
I give each student in my class the opportunity to complete a survey to let me know a little more about them, also it gives them an opportunity to ask me a question. I'll eventually go through and answer every question that I'm asked throughout the school year. This helps build relationships and build rapport with each and every student. It also gives you some insight into their lives and interests so that you can mention some of the pop culture references and whatnot in the course of teaching.

Assignment Sheet (Homework and Lesson Schedule)
Math teachers at my school all teach from shared plans and a common assignment sheet. We really try to work together to be efficient. That efficiency has been in part due to the format and planning involved in setting out a month ahead of what we are all teaching every day. This will come fully editable so that you can use it as a template for your team to use during planning meetings.

Teaching style
I am fair but firm with my students. I joke and use sarcasm often, it's more fun in middle school as they start to understand it more. I try to include real world math and relate it to something they'll need later in life also. I am known on my campus as a teacher not to mess with as I follow through with my classroom expectations and consequences with all my students regardless of where on campus they may be! Many students describe me as their favorite teacher ever, some can't stand me! (mostly the rule breakers, haha)
