Peak State Mathematics

Hello teachers! Thank you for choosing Peak State Mathematics to be a part of your classroom. This tool is a compilation of different Desmos explorations I’ve created. They are fairly simple and are intended to be used as warm-ups/explorations of new concepts. The way I use these in my class is by linking the specific exploration to their Google Classroom (or other common space) and having them get started on it as they enter the classroom (Bell Ringer). I will add different prompts depending on

This is the complete first unit I teach. I am providing you with 10 Google Form Exit Slips to help you get a quick capture of student understanding, 1 Google Form Homework Quiz with 69 questions, a Google Form Unit Review with 24 questions, and a Google Form Unit Test with 24 questions. Each form is self grading (will save you hours of work!), includes a file upload for students to upload images of their handwritten work, has how-to videos embedded, and is completely customizable (delete, add, m

Hello teachers! Thank you for choosing Peak State Mathematics to be a part of your classroom this year. This is my first unit of the year for Geometry. We will be reviewing Algebra 1 and focusing on Solving Linear Equations, Factoring, and Solving by Factoring. This Unit includes 10 exit slips, a homework assignment (I call homework quiz), a review, and a Unit Test. Each is a Google Form with built in answers for auto grading. The Exit Slips are a "jump to section" form that helps students throu

This is a 3 week project that I use to teach area, surface area and volume. It is very accurate to real life numbers and situations. I think it is a great way to have real life conversations with my students about where math is used in the "Real World." It is also much more fun (and difficult) than a regular assignment and test. Feel free to break these up into 4 mini projects or take it all on as one unit! Each mini project will take 2-5 days to complete. I do mine all at once and finish in 3 w

This is the complete 3rd unit I teach. I am providing you with 10 Google Form Exit Slips to help you get a quick capture of student understanding, 1 Google Form Homework Quiz with 59 questions, a Google Form Unit Review with 21 questions, and a Google Form Unit Test with 21 questions. Each form is self grading (will save you hours of work!), includes a file upload for students to upload images of their handwritten work, has how-to videos embedded, and is completely customizable (delete, add, mod

Do you feel like your students just don't care right now? Like they don't know why school is important? Maybe you have students, like I do, that are working full time and have made school something to do if they have time after work. Wouldn't it be nice to help them realize why school is important again? To have them discover the financial value in attending school? How great would it be for them to create self awareness around how their 6 Surviving and Thriving Needs impact their daily decisi

This is the complete second unit I teach. I am providing you with 5 Google Form Exit Slips to help you get a quick capture of student understanding, 1 Google Form Homework Quiz with 20 questions, and a Google Form Unit Test with 5 questions.

This is a quick and easy "App" template using Google Slides. It is designed to easily share all of your important class information with students and parents. You can completely customize your own copy. This is just an example of what you could do. It includes links to Current Assignments, Looking Ahead, YouTube Videos for the Current Unit, a Calendar Link, Links to Remind, Infinite Campus Login (or you can change these to your preferred communication and grade links). This also includes a few f

Hey Teachers! Have you ever wanted to give your students a self grading exit slip? Would it also be nice to help students close their initial learning gaps immediately with instructional feedback if they miss it on the first try? Maybe you'd like them to have access to step by step instruction through images and a video? This form has 11 sections for a single multiple choice exit slip problem. Each of the 4 answer choices send them to the appropriate next section. Did you get it right on the fir

If you're anything like me, you're tired of stealing low resolution coordinate grids from the internet to make your homework and test questions. Here are 4 commonly used blank grids AND the Google Slides I used to create them so you can make your own custom sized grids and/or add labels! I was required to attach the images as a Google Doc of PDF, so if the quality is low, please email me and I am happy to email you the full resolution .png files, or just take your own screenshot, or export the s
