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.

This handout covers three possibilities - direct variation, inverse variation, and neither. There are charts/directions/descriptions for determining which type of variation is present for tables, graphs, and equations. This version has all bubbles filled in. If you'd like, I can blank out parts of the charts so you can use this as a note taking activity free of charge! =) You may also apply your own whiteout if you'd like to go that route. =)

Using the Discriminant to Determine Types of Roots - Flowchart

Created by
ms eureka
This handy flowchart will help students use the Discriminant to determine the number and type of roots of a quadratic equation. Hand out the flowchart filled in, or have students complete it as a class activity. My goal in my classroom with this flowchart was that it would help students streamline their thought process and make stronger connections between that number they got under the radical and the answers they got out for solutions. I hoped that they didn't actually need this flowchart

Experience

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.

Later, in a private Christian school, I served as School Board Vice Chair. I am currently homeschooling my 1st and 4th graders.

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).
