About the store
I spent 8 years teaching high school - 6 years as a Math Teacher, primarily in Geometry and Algebra 2, but also taught Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Calculus. Then I spent 2 years as a mild-moderate special education teacher in English and Math. I had my own classroom, acted as a co-teacher, taught vocational transitions, and oversaw Coffee Cart and Work Experience programs. I've also coached volleyball and scholar bowl. Later, in a private Christian school, I served as School Board Vice Chair. I am currently homeschooling my 1st and 4th graders.

Right Triangle Trig - Review Activity
7 pages of trig problems for groups to complete. Includes photographs of the set up for the teacher's table and answer key to all pages, including work.
Students complete questions in groups. You can use these questions in any activity you like. Here, I used them in a puzzle game. Groups receive puzzle pieces for each page they get correct. Their goal is to put their puzzle together the fastest. I use 25 piece children’s puzzles. Assign students to fair groups of 3-5. To use with puzzles:

Pythagorean Theorem Activity - Stack It!
15 Questions - Pythagorean Theorem Applications
Includes Student Work Page, Teacher & Student Directions, and Fully Worked out Answer Key
Small groups are better than large groups
Could also be redesigned to use as a Problem Trail or other group activity
Stack It!
Directions:
• Deal cards to each member of the group.
• Turn all cards over so that the answer side is up.
• Choose one person to start. This person chooses any one of their cards, turns it over, and reads the question. The card is t

Triangle Inequality Theorem - Discovery/Introduction Activity
Students use toothpicks (or straws, dry pasta, etc) to model triangles of various dimensions to discover the Triangle Inequality Theorem, a+b>c. This is a fully editable Word Document.
The focus of this activity is to determine if a triangle is possible given the side measurements. You may also want to briefly hint at what types of triangles are created (isosceles, equilateral, right) as a preview, especially for your advanced/curious students.
Each student or group will need 12 toothpick

Writing Linear Equations Handout/Foldable
Two page document
1st page is Step #1: Find the slope. Includes directions for finding parallel and perpendicular slopes
2nd page is Step #2: Write the equation. Includes directions for point-slope, slope-intercept, and standard form
Please note: I did not give directions on using slope-intercept and a point to find the equation. My students learn that in Algebra 1, so I like to focus on point-slope to give them more experience with that form.
Can be printed on two pages and cut out to mak

Proportions Quick Draw Activity
Cooperative learning activity for Proportions Practice. This is a game of speed and accuracy! Students race to complete each problem and grab up the answer before their group members. See Directions page for more specific info about how the game works. =)
Copy page 1 and 2 front to back. (Design on the back is intended to skew problems through the back.) Cut out questions and answers - each group gets a set of problems and answers. Each student gets a work page. Directions may be copied o

Human Quadratic Formula Cards
Class Activity to Learn the Quadratic Formula
2 sets of cards - full page and half page sizes
Objective: Students hold a card with a piece of the Quadratic Formula on it. On cue, they arrange themselves into the quadratic formula as fast as they can.
Optional: Attach a string to the square root symbol so it can be extended over the terms in the Discriminant. I have students arrange themselves in a front row and back row to take care of it being a fraction, but you could also use string for th

Conditional Statements Flashcards
Flashcards to help your students practice the symbols for their conditional statements - conditional, converse, inverse, and contrapositive.
Students may use "p" and "q" or use "1" and "2." I find many students are more successful with the numbers, but I always let them pick what works best for them. I ask them to either use all letters or all numbers so they don't confuse themselves. Sometimes, a student will commit to one, and then switch to the other option and I think that's great! =)

Teaching style
I try to make the most of every minute! I love to implement games and hands on learning activities as much as I can. I take a lot of pride in all that I do, and care deeply for my students.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My math students consistently scored very well on state standardized tests. As a math teacher, I was named STAR teacher for one month (by students) and Teacher of the Week (by coworkers/administration).
