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:

Using the Discriminant to Determine Types of Roots - Flowchart
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

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).
