About the store
Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a secondary math teacher with 10+ years of experience teaching 7th grade, 7th-grade accelerated, and 9th grade. My passion is creating discovery tasks that engage students and build deep conceptual understanding.
Discovery tasks are my favorite because they have a low floor (anyone can get started!) and a high ceiling (students can explore at deeper levels). This flexibility makes differentiation easier and helps meet the diverse needs of learners. I firmly believe that combining discovery tasks with thoughtful class discussions and guided notes allows every student to thrive.
Have a question? Feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to respond within a day. Happy teaching!

Teaching style
Here’s how I structure my lessons:
1. Investigate: Students explore a standard through a discovery task.
2. Solidify: We discuss findings as a class and take notes to reinforce understanding.
3. Practice: Students apply what they’ve learned through activities or assignments.
I believe the best way for students to learn math is by doing math! They need opportunities to think, explore, and persevere through challenges to truly understand mathematical concepts.
