About the store
I have worked in the Muncie Community Schools, located in Muncie, Indiana, for two decades and I have had a wide variety of classroom and private tutoring experiences ranging from primary to secondary levels. I have been recognized as 'Teacher of the Year' twice at my respective schools and have also been recognized as an Indiana University Armstrong Teacher Educator Award winner.
I have taught in many different programs while working for Muncie Community Schools in a residential juvenile facility where my students have had very little success in regular school. I began developing many of my math ideas to help these and other students, including after school tutoring.
I am currently the principal at West View Elementary and have been an administrator for nearly seven years. I still have a passion for teaching and learning...Once a Teacher, Always a Teacher!

Christmas Math Geometry: Christmas Geome-Tree Angles
Christmas Geome-Tree Angles combines work with rulers,identifying acute and obtuse angles with intersecting lines, and a quick word unscramble for some Holiday fun.
Students will draw lines from the bases of five Christmas trees, through the top points of the stars until the straight lines indicate a letter from a long list of letters. Then, students will then unscramble the letters to find a Holiday word. Finally, students will identify the intersecting lines' angles with red and green mark

Fall Back and Regroup! Subtraction Borrowing with Regrouping Success!
Fall Back and Regroup is a program designed to teach students to borrow and regroup when other methods have failed. Pilot schools reported 85%-95% success rates from students who could not master subtraction with borrowing and regrouping prior to training with this step-by-step, procedural method. Complete with regrouping cards, FBAR has even helped resource and special education students find success with mastering the procedures for subtraction when other methods have failed. Be sure to dow

Quad Classification Search #1
Quad Classification Search #1 will have your students comparing, classifying, and discriminating between four different types of quadrilaterals. Much like in my other geometric search activities, students will color-code the polygons that fit one of the four descriptions.
This is a great activity to use as a prerequisite for naming quadrilaterals and establishing a solid foundation for understanding the attributes of squares and rectangles, rhombi, trapezoids, and kites.
