Solving Word Problems with GCF and LCM
How can you tell if a word problem requires you to find the GCF or LCM? In this lesson, students are given the opportunity to read, analyze, and interpret the "hidden" clues within these types of word problems. By using specific strategies and word phrases, students develop a better understanding of what is being asked of them. This is a perfect activity to use as whole group or within a technology based (eMINTS) classroom. This activity promotes group and classroom discussions while fosteri

Mean Median Mode Range with Outliers
This PowerPoint Presentation was made for my Pre-Algebra class, but can easily be adapted for lower grades. The lesson teaches students how to solve for mean, median, mode and range along with how to identify outliers within a set of data (as well as their effects on a data set). Through analytical thinking, students can decipher how to find the measure of central tendency (which average best describes the data set).
This presentation has 50 slides with lots of examples and practice problems.

Divisibilty Rules with Prime Factorization
In this activity, students will practice Divisibility Rules while solving for Mystery Numbers and applying higher order thinking to answer several thought provoking questions. Once they have mastered division, they will apply the skills to several Prime Factorization problems. An answer key is provided. This is an activity that I utilize as extra practice for when I need to be out of the classroom (sub plans).

Teaching style
I am a no nonsense hands-on educator. I enjoy challenging students to think outside of the box in order to solve real-world problems. Being a certified eMINTS educator has allowed me to better incorporate differentiated instruction to my students while challenging them to become self-directed learners. I love technology and I incorporate it into my lessons as often as possible. Inquiry-based learning, allows students to become more self confident with their problem solving abilities and promotes tolerance of others' ideas and capabilties.
