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!

Functions, Domain & Range, Function Notation Practice
This is a double-sided practice page over Functions, Domain & Range and Function Notation. The front (12 questions) asks the student to determine whether a given graph (discrete or continuous) is a function or not. Then they are to find the domain and range of each. On the back, the student is given a linear equation and asked to find a table of values and then a graph. Then find the domain and range. The bottom asks them to find specific values in function notation from an equation. Key incl

Function Notation Coloring Activity
This is a fun coloring activity over finding function values using function notation. On the first 12 questions, the student is given an equation written in function notation and is asked to find a function value written in function notation. Functions range from easy such as f(x) = 3x, to more difficult: 3 - 5x or -x^2. 8 more questions follow where the student is given a graph and asked to find the function values written in function notation from the graph. Next they use their answers to co

This is a fun Escape Room activity that covers finding Domain & Range of graphs (discrete & continuous), mappings and tables. There are 15 relations hung around the room (lift the flap style). Working in pairs, the students find either the domain or range. The correct answer yields a clue to a 4-digit code number. In addition, students gather 4 letters based upon which relations are not functions and this yields an additional 4-letter code word. Students must find both codes in order to escape

Factoring Trinomials (a = 1) Activity (Cut & Paste)
This is a fun activity for the student to practice factoring trinomials where a = 1. The student is given 3 different question paths and 24 rectangles to cut out. The top of the rectangle has the answer to the factoring question and the bottom of the rectangle contains the next trinomial to factor. This way, students can't "cheat" and just work the problem backwards (by multiplying instead of factoring)! Some questions are very similar such as x^2 - 7x - 12 and x^2 - 7x + 12 to make the activit

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.
