Students struggle with proofs for many reasons. Often, when given information, they do not know where start. Students need to think that if they are proving triangles are congruent, “how can I use SSS, SAS, ASA, or AAS”. If they are showing lines are parallel on a graph, “how can I use slope”, etc.
This resource can be used a variety of ways to help students determine where to go with the given information. Pages 3 & 4 can be given to students as a handout. Pages 5-8 are designed to be used
Students usually catch on to factoring trinomials when the a = 1, but they have a harder time when the a does not equal 1. This factoring mat will help students organize their ideas for pairs of factors.
Since factoring trinomials is often a trial and error process, it can be frustrating for students. Therefore, this mat is intended to be used as dry erase marker activity. The printed sheets can be placed in sheet protectors, or you can use more durable protectors such as these. It is als
For years I struggled with 3 things regarding managing assessments: streamlining the look, keeping track of answer keys, and pulling old questions/answers to include on a cumulative assessment. This template solves ALL of those problems!
For this template, I have created a table where the question number, question, and answer all have their own column. Each question has its own row. If I need more or less questions, I just add or delete rows as necessary (right click in a cell and insert/del
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
Give students a transparent tool to help them label triangles!
Students often have trouble labeling parts (such as x, 2x, a, b, c, opposite, adjacent, hypotenuse, etc) of triangles for Special Triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, and Trigonometry. To help my students do this correctly, I give each student a labeled triangle printed on transparency film.
Then when students are working on one of these types of problems, they line up their transparency with the problem on their paper. They line up
Help your students get organized for their semester exams with this is a “3 for 1” deal! In this document you get 3 different types of study guide templates for students to use. These have been very effective in my own high school classroom, but they can be applied to any classroom that has a cumulative test or exam. In my own classroom I present all 3 templates to students, then I allow them to choose which one(s) they would like to use. Students enjoy the opportunity to personalize and they
Students generate data on how they use their time in a week (168 hours) to create a circle graph. This activity is designed with several objectives in mind.
1) It can help students realize how and where they spend their time. This can be the springboard for time management conversations.
2) In this activity students are asked to calculate the percent of time they spend doing activities and to translate that into degrees of central angles.
3) This activity reinforces the use of a protractor,

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!
