About the store
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!).

Distance Learning - Coordinate Plane Notes
We use this as a review of coordinate plane concepts that students should already know. It involves identifying the parts of the coordinate plane, plotting points, and domain/range. Students keep this in their notebook. You could also use this as a pre-assessment or quiz to see what students know or remember. Maybe it's even a review worksheet of your coordinate plane unit. This activity now has a digital component via Google Slides. The parts are the divided up among slides with text boxes

Distance Learning - Graphing Linear Equations Notes
We use this paper in class as the notes for graphing linear equations on a coordinate plane. In 8th grade, they can't use a graphing calculator, so we teach them the plug-and-chug method of choosing x-values, putting them through the function machine, and getting the y-values. We walk the students through the first page and then let them try the second page on their own. You could also use this paper as a review or as a pre-quiz to see what students do or do not already know. This product also

Graphing Real Life Problems
I made this worksheet for our coordinate plane unit to apply the skills they just learned. Students are given a linear relationship situation and they must do the following:
- write an equation
- complete a chart with that equation
- graph the values in the chart (students must label the graph)
- name the independent/dependent variables
- use the graph to predict a result
- use the equation to predict a result
There are 4 situations, so you can choose the ones you like. You could even make on

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.
