Comparison Bars
Use this graphic organizer to teach comparing word problems. My students liked having a template instead of drawing them. Be sure to teach key words 'fewer than' and 'more than' for when to use comparison bars. An example of how to use comparison bars is included as an 'answer key'.

Color-Coded 100 Chart w/ Multiples
I use these charts with my students to teach them the connection with counting and equal groups. Multiples of 2s-10s are color-coded on the hundred charts to identify patterns. A blank hundred chart is on the last page for students to practice skip-counting on their own in a fun way!

Teaching style
My passion for small group and individualized instruction stems from my interest in working with the whole child. I feel that I am able to grow connections with my students by knowing their strengths, needs, and taking time to know what makes them who they are, and they blossom!
I am interested in all aspects of learning, including academic, behavioral, and social emotional, I plan my instruction with knowledge of student's learning styles, strengths, and needs, and include multi-sensory education and differentiated opportunities to help students succeed.
