My first year of teaching was 7th grade science in Waco, Texas. Then I got married and moved to Virginia, where I taught 7th/8th grade mathematics (pre-algebra) for 12 years in and out of a collaborative model. I then taught 6th grade math virtually. Now I'm a 6-8 math interventionist in Tennessee (and loving it!).
In my classroom, I teach the students to order numbers using a specific process. First, change all the numbers to decimals. Second, line up the decimals. Third, write the numbers in the correct order. This worksheet provides space for each step. There are 4 ordering questions that include numbers represented in scientific notation, decimal form, and fraction form. The final question asks students to write about the process they used. There is also a digital format via Google Slides that con
This is an activity for ordering numbers in different forms. Each page contains two sets of the same numbers. I print each page on the color of cardstock indicated and cut out the numbers. If you make one copy, you'll have two sets of 5 colors each. The numbers are written with scientific notation, absolute value, fractions, and decimals. Then I put the students in groups of 4 or 5, depending on what they can handle. I choose a color and tell the students what order to put the numbers in. T
Number lines are another way to see the number sets -- natural, whole, integer, and rational. This number line uses colors to show which numbers on a number line represent each number set. It also includes labels for the colors and a black-and-white number line. When you purchase this product, you agree to use it in your classroom only.

Experience
My first year of teaching was 7th grade science in Waco, Texas. Then I got married and moved to Virginia, where I taught 7th/8th grade mathematics (pre-algebra) for 12 years in and out of a collaborative model. I then taught 6th grade math virtually. Now I'm a 6-8 math interventionist in Tennessee (and loving it!).
Teaching style
I prefer hands-on, discovery learning with lots of discussion, activity, and analysis. I'm a big fan of Jo Boaler and standards-based grading, so I prefer collaboration over lectures.
Awards & shining teacher moments
My principal has honored me with the Starfish Award for going above and beyond my duties.
I have also been awarded Teacher of The Week by current and former students.
My own education history
I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am certified to teach grades 4-8 in math and science in Texas, grades 6-8 mathematics/science and Algebra in Virginia and Tennessee, and I hold a Master of Education in School Leadership.
Additional biographical information
I have led professional development on creating a positive relationship with middle school students. I also created the activities and worksheets we used in our 7th/8th grade math curriculum. As a math interventionist, I use small groups and collaboration to address learning gaps and misunderstandings.
