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!).
This is a package of 7 homework sheets practicing the order of operations using GEMDAS. Some problems are thoughtful rather than simplifying a problem, i.e., create your own way to remember GEMDAS. One homework has one problem solved 2 ways and students must figure out who is right and why. Another homework goes with the Bubble Activity I'm selling.
Problems may include parentheses, square roots, absolute value, and the division bar. Each page has 2-3 homeworks to conserve paper.

Help students recognize how a frequency graph is made by having them create one themselves. A table with tree heights is given, the students must choose the intervals and then place the heights in the appropriate interval. At the end are 5 questions for analyzing the data in the graph.
I completely made up the numbers for the tree heights!

Teach the negative powers of ten through patterns and sorting. This package includes in PDF format -- - Two sorts/matching - One one-sided worksheet with a table to fill in - One exit pass that has four copies on one sheet - Three half-sheet homeworks - One sheet of a Neg Powers of Ten table (2 per sheet) for notebooks - One set of performance tasks, or thought questions, that uses their knowledge of this topic to break into scientific notation The performance tasks can be used at various times
This is a package of 3 homework pages dealing with comparing and ordering numbers. These sheets may include percents, fractions, decimals, scientific notation, and square roots. One sheet has two on it. The other two sheets have 3 on them. I don't like to give long homework! You could also use these as Do Nows (bell work/ringers) or as Exit Passes!
After we teach proportions, we teach the percent proportion along with its many applications. This is a homework package with 5 homework pages about discounts, tax, tip, and so on. One page is a mixture of proportion and percent problems so students must identify how to solve it.
Each page contains more than one homework so you conserve paper.
But you don't have to stop there! Use them as do nows (bell ringers/work), exit passes, or quizzes.
This homework packet includes 7 half-sheet homeworks about equations. They can include 2-step or multi-step equations, most with variables on both sides of the equality. One sheet asks students to represent and solve equations with algebra tiles and another asks students to represent an equation on a balance. One sheet has 4 word problems. Each sheet has two homeworks on it to conserve paper. There are also two homeworks that are front and back. You can also use these sheets as exit passes o
Teach the quadrilaterals with as many visuals as possible! This package includes in PDF format -- - Three half-sheet homework pages - Three printables for notes, like the quad family tree, a checklist to help students understand all the classifications of a quad, and two types of Venn diagrams - Eight Frayer Models - One quadrilateral project that asks students to create a mobile, poster, or book depicting/describing the quads (comes with rubric) - One sorting activity to use as an introduction
This 6-page packet includes solving 1- and 2-step inequalities, graphing inequalities, and translating inequalities. There's also a page about the similarities and differences between the solution sets and process for solving 2-step inequalities and equations. Each page contains two homeworks for paper conservation. These would be great for Do Nows (bell work/ringers) or exit passes!
This homework package contains 4 different homeworks for your proportion unit. One homework has students create their own proportion word problem. Two have 6 proportion word problems. Another has some sentences to turn into ratios and 4 simple proportions to solve.
They don't have to be homeworks. They could be short quizzes, do nows (bell ringers/work), or exit passes!
This packet includes three homeworks about simple interest. The first one just asks students to define simple interest and then state the formula and label the variables. The second sheet is 4 word problems involving simple interest. The third one is also 4 word problems. To save paper, the first homework has 3 on one page. The others have two on one page. These don't have to be only homework. They could be review sheets, pop quizzes, exit passes, or do nows (bell work/ringers).
This bundle includes 5 half-sheets of homework about substituting values for variables and using the order of operations to simplify. Some sheets are harder than others. A couple also delve into broader concepts -- like how does the solution change when you change the value you substitute. Because they're half-sheets, you can use them as homework, starters, or exit passes! 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.
