For this inquiry activity, students create their own design on a coordinate plane and use this design to explore properties of dilation. They will be asked to shrink and expand their design by a given scale factor, compare the coordinates of each design, and finally be given an opportunity to prove the properties of similarity and dilation on a coordinate plane. Students will use the distance formula to demonstrate corresponding sides are proportional and a protractor to demonstrate correspondi
In this activity, students are given various clues such as the standard form of the equation of a line, point slope form, slope, x intercept, y intercept, and 2 random points. They are to use the given information to find the remaining missing information. This activity is a great way for students to demonstrate understanding and connections between these different components of a linear function. The activity can be used as an enrichment for a lower grade level Algebra class, practice for an
Students of all ages struggle with following directions. These activities are a fun way to practice listening and/or reading skills. Students are given a list of instructions. Then when time is up, they may check their answers to the answer key. Instructions vary from ‘draw a circle in the upper right corner’ to ‘take your age and multiply it by 2’. Download my preview for a more detailed example.
I use these activities as a warm up at the beginning of class, but they can be used at anytim
In this online investigation, students use Desmos.com as a substitute for the traditional graphing calculator to investigate properties of inverse functions. This is a great introductory activity into inverse functions as it gives students a visual understanding of what a function and its inverse can look like. In the activity, students are instructed to create a table of values for a function, create the table of values for the inverse function, and graph the line y=x. In so doing, students

About the store
Experience
I have been teaching HS math since 2001. I have a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Math Ed and a Master's Degree in Technology in the Classroom.
Teaching style
My philosophy of teaching is to find different ways for students to learn. I believe it is important to show students that math does apply to the "real world" and that yes, indeed, math can be fun.

Additional biographical information
I enjoy trying new strategies with my students and 'trying' to keep up with them and technology in the classroom.
I have also started working with my mom to create TpT resources. She has been teaching in the elementary grades for over 40 years!
