Distributive Property Visual
This is a fun visual I use with my kids in regards to the Distributive property. I call it the dating property which works well with middle school kids. It shows a cute little scenario of dating history and pictures. Enjoy!

Common Core Order Of Operations Challenge
This is a common core aligned challenge page great for higher level thinkers or gifted dealing with orders of operations. I usually use it as an incentive page (not for a grade). It could be done in groups or partners even.

Inverse Operations Self Discovery Opening Activity
I use this activity with my higher ability students (but others may be able to figure it out too). This activity gives students equations to solve by common sense or reasoning and then asks them to really thing mathematically about what they are doing. It aligns to the 6th grade common core standard for solving equations.

Teaching style
I have very high expectations for my students and implement those through challenging and rigorous tasks that align with the common core. I am very hands on and focus on interactive ideas in my classroom. I integrate 21st century skills as much as possible in order to help my students learn!
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have been nominated 3 years for Barnes and Noble Teacher of the Year award by past students, which has been a great honor as well as Ohio Teacher of the Year.

I graduated from Ashland University with a Bachelor's Degree in Middle Grades Math, Reading and Language Arts.
