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 - Ordering Rational Numbers
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

Cut'N'Paste Decimals, Fractions, and Percents
In this activity, students cut out some fractions, decimals, and percents. Then they match the equivalent ones together and paste them onto the answer sheet. I usually copy the numbers on colored paper so the final product looks more interesting than white on white.
Students enjoy this so much better than a worksheet!

Colored Order of Operations
Do your students need more reinforcement for the order of operations (GEMDAS)? This might be a worksheet for you! It assigns colors to the different steps of the order of operations so each step is highlighted by a color.
I used this in the beginning of my career when my students didn't have to complete very difficult order of operation puzzles. I think it's very useful to add color to what is normally black and white!

Order of Operations KWL Chart
My coworkers and I have embarked on a mission to change PEMDAS to GEMDAS since the upper levels of math include more than just parentheses as a grouping symbol. That being said, I made this KWL chart to use with my 8th grade students to introduce the new anagram. It was a great conversation!

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.
