About the store
I have over 25 years of experience working with and encouraging high school students to be successful in math! I have taught everything from Pre-Algebra concepts to Pre-Calculus and every student from the Pre-AP high achievers to those that are repeating a course.
I love getting the average student to realize that they can be good at math, that it isn't a horrible thing, and actually enjoy coming to class!

Prime Factorization Activity (Cut & Paste)
This is a fun activity for the student to practice finding the prime factorization of numbers. The student is given 2 different question paths and 18 rectangles to cut out. The top of the rectangle has the answer to the prime factorization question and the bottom of the rectangle contains the next number to find the prime factorization of. A lot of the questions use the same prime numbers in the answer to make the activity more difficult. All of the numbers in the questions are less than 150.

Combining Like Terms Practice
This is a double-sided worksheet providing practice with combining like terms. The front contains 6 combining like terms examples that get more difficult as the student moves down the page. I teach my students to use shapes and/or colors when combining like terms, so the font is larger on these problems. The back contains four application questions where the student is given a polygon with monomial or binomial side lengths and asked to find the perimeter of each. Great for practice of combining

The student puts the foldable together with some cuts and a fold and then fills in the inside of the foldable with words that mean to add, subtract, multiply, divide and equal to. Then they complete some examples. Directions and photos of completed foldable included. 4 pages.

Teaching style
My goal is to make math easy to learn by making it engaging and fun with foldables, activities and games. In addition, I tend to make notes and practice sheets that are very focused on the specific skill or skills (sometimes pre-requisite) that need to be developed so that the student can be successful. My resources reflect this.
In addition, the students that I teach are on-level or below and usually struggle with math and/or don't like it. My approach is to start with where they are and what they know and bring them up from there.
My resources reflect this and do not contain too many tricky numbers or super high-level questions because I want to keep them engaged and feeling successful. Finally, I try to vary the approach and not do the same thing from day to day (notes, game, activity, foldable, etc.). Therefore, my store contains a variety of resources for each unit.
