General Statistics - Mean, Median, Mode, Range and Mean Absolute Deviation
I use this MS PowerPoint presentation file to kickoff our study of Statistics in my 7th and 8th grade math classes. It reviews the definitions and detailed methods required to calculate the mean, median, mode, range and mean absolute deviation (MAD) of a data set(s). It is a totally animated ppt file and very easy for students to understand. Any of the ppt animations can be modified as desired by the presenter (teacher). It also includes 2 example problems for the students to complete towar

The Invisible Numbers of Math
This is a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on a subject I call “The Incredible Invisibles”. It covers a concept in math that is initially confusing to students. There are a number of “Invisible 1’s” in math that are not shown as they are considered “normal math convention” or “default values”. These invisibles apply primarily to coefficients, exponents and denominators. I have also found in my teaching that there is also an “Invisible 2” that is confusing to students as well. This presenta

About the store
Experience
I am a retired mechanical engineer who, upon retirement, became a middle and high school math and science teacher via the lateral entry process in NC. I have taught 6th, 7th and 8th grade math and science and 9-12 grade math (Math 1, 2 and 3, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and Precalculus) over the last 15 years.
Teaching style
I typically use a 4-prong approach to teaching math and science in my classroom: 1) 8 to 10 minute presentation (usually a ppt) to introduce and provide some basic instruction for a new math topic, 2) a guided notes paper with lots of blanks to be jointly completed by my students and me, 3) online or hard copy practice worksheets to reinforce the current concepts and confirm understanding and 4) multiple, relevant, hands-on projects to connect the various math and science subjects to the real world. I am a strong proponent of Project Based Learning (PBL) using STEM projects and lessons.
I use my Smartboard and document camera daily during class.
Note: I use all of the MS PPT products that I have listed on TpT website in my own classrooms.
