About the store
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.

Converting Linear Equations from Standard Form to Slope Intercept Form

Priceless Math
There are three types or formats of linear equations or functions that are typically taught in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Math I (standard form, SIF and point-slope). The attached MS PowerPoint slideshow describes in detail the steps I use to convert a linear equation in standard form to slope-intercept-form. This presentation is classroom-tested as I have used it when I taught 8th graders and I use for review purposes with my Math I 9th grade students. It not only specifies the steps to conv

This MS PowerPoint presentation provides an easy-to-understand and classroom-tested technique for solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square. There are 5 basic methods to solve Quadratic Equations and they are: 1. Graphing 2. Factoring and the Zero Product Property 3. Finding Square Roots 4. Completing the Square5. Quadratic Formula This presentation covers Method No. 4 above. I use this presentation in my 10th. 11th and 12th grade math classes (Math 2, Algebra 2 and Precalculu

This is a MS PowerPoint presentation that provides a structured solution technique that I use in my 9th and 10th grade Math 1 and 2 and Algebra 1 and 2 classes to solve basic radical equations. It is a very detailed and fully animated presentation that is designed to keep the students alert and focused. I always print out a hard copy of the slidepack for my students to review and take notes on as I go through it. It also includes several slides that show how to check and verify that the solut

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.
