My students are a professional touring choir. When they visit fun places like Disneyworld I like them to learn something as well as have a good time. This activity is one they do on the drive to Disneyworld. They will read a short bio of Disney and the respond to an open-ended question. They will draw Mickey Mouse (scale, proportion, direction following). The last page is Disney trivia. They find the answers by evaluating math expressions (order of operations).

This powerpoint will review the properties of multiplying monomials and teach the properties of dividing monomials. This includes: quotient of powers property, power of a quotient property, zero exponent property and the negative exponent property. Where it says "Let's Practice" a question is posed and students should answer before the next slide is revealed with the answer. In class I use individual whiteboards. Students put the answer on the board and hold it up for my viewing.

After a review of multiplying Monomials and multiplying Polynomials by Monomials students are taught to multiply polynomials using the Distributive Property and FOIL. Examples illustrate both methods and there are problems for students to try. In class I have students solve the problems on dry erase white boards. They hold them up and I can immediately see who is grasping the concept and who is struggling.

Use one number line per student, the second page will need to be copied for every student in the class. Have students label the top of the 2 page spread as INTEGERS. Tape or glue the number line below and have students label it. I have them find the middle and label it 0 first. Label one page NEGATIVE and the other POSITIVE. The student cut out and glue the integer situations and write the integer described. With the integers student will cut them out, paste them and write a situation for each.

About the store

Experience

I formerly taught at an all boys' boarding school. My students were a professional touring choir. I am currently substituting in my town.

Teaching style

Interactive. I use individual white boards often in class. My PowerPoint slide presentations have questions for the class after we've done some examples. Students answer on the whiteboards, hold them up and I can tell immediately who is "getting" the concept and who isn't.
