Give students this flow chart to help them organize the steps to graph inequalities in a coordinate plane. This can also serve as a good review of graphing Point Slope Form (PSF) and Slope Intercept Form (SIF). This also pairs well with: Systems of Inequalities and GradesSystems of Inequalities Real Life Application Fundraising Goals ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep up with my new products on FACEBOOK!Keep up with my n

Angle of Elevation and Angle of Rotation
In these two playdough mats, students use playdough to practice their Angle of Rotation and Angle of Elevation skills. Because the use of playdough is “big and bold”, the teacher can easily and formatively assess student understanding.
The Angle of Rotation mat has students start with color coding the initial side and terminal side of an angle. It then moves students through creating both positive and negative angles of rotation, as well as angles a
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
Often students are asked to participate in fundraising to support their school and/or organizations, but how do those organizations set goals for selling? In this activity, students will use their knowledge of graphing systems of inequalities (or linear programming) to propose fundraising goals. The scenario the students work through is a real life scenario that occurred in my school. In the introduction, students brainstorm possible solutions to this problem, then the activity walks them thr
In this activity, students will analyze calories and fat fast food sandwiches. They will collect data, create a scatterplot, and generate a line of best fit. Then they will use this information to create equations in Slope Intercept Form and Point Slope Form. The equations will be used for making predictions and inferences. Students are encouraged to work in groups to collect the data to help “divide and conquer” the work. This activity can be used as an introduction to PSF and SIF or as a su
Students love to talk about their birthdays! This activity has students collect classmate birthday data and uses that data to apply to basic probability. This product includes teacher notes, a data recording sheet for students, and 9 questions to relate the data to probability. Questions include: What is the probability of having a birthday on an ODD numbered day? What is the probability of having a birthday during a month containing the letter “Y”? The activity could be used as practice or a
In this activity students apply their knowledge of systems of inequalities (or linear programming) to a very real life problem – their semester grade! This activity is intended for high school students to determine what grades they need for their 2nd quarter and exam to earn a particular grade for the semester. The student is walked through the process of creating inequalities that apply to this situation. It is based on the student’s first quarter grade and the assumption that quarter grades
This is not your ordinary matching practice worksheet for factor and FOIL! Yes, included in this product is a 10 question practice matching factor/FOIL worksheet. However, it also comes with cards for a variety of activities to assess understanding!
After completing the worksheet, students pick a card. (Cards are on pages 5-7 and need to be PRECUT by the teacher.) Once everyone (or the majority – use teacher discretion) in the class is finished and has a card, the teacher should have stude
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!
