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 worksheet is based off a different one I saw that used the commutative and associative properties. This worksheet gives examples of the identity and inverse properties using numbers and symbols. If students answer it correctly, they answer the riddle at the top of the page.
In my classroom, I teach my students to order numbers using a specific process. First, change all the numbers into decimals. Second, line up the decimals. Third, write the numbers in the correct order. This worksheet provides space for this process. This worksheet includes 4 ordering problems containing numbers in decimal form, fraction form, scientific notation, square root form, and percent form. The last question asks students to describe the process they used to order numbers. I've incl
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 worksheet includes 10 statements, plus one bonus statement, that should be answered as Always True, Sometimes True, or Never True. Students must also explain why they chose that. It includes statements like, "All fractions are rational numbers". It's meant to spark discussion and deepen the understanding of the real number system. I give this worksheet on a class-to-class basis, depending on where I think the students are in their understanding and confidence. *Update - An answer key has
My students need to classify numbers within the real number system, but I don't really like boring worksheets. This activity was inspired by a coworker. The students get a colored sheet of numbers and a Venn diagram of the real number system. They cut out the numbers and paste them into the smallest appropriate subset. The directions also specify that students should label each subset. The students love this activity because it feels like the "arts and crafts" of elementary. *I usually requi
This activity has multiple choice, true/false, and open-ended questions about the rational number system. Some of the choices also include "irrational" as an introduction to something outside of the rational numbers. I used this as a review station for the end of the first quarter. Included are two Venn Diagram maps for the Real Number System. One is a cloud with raindrops and a lightning bolt and the other is the normal circles and rectangles.
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!
As students solve the substitution problems, they cross out the answers they get from the options at the bottom. The words leftover answer the riddle at the top of the page! It's a great worksheet because it gives answer choices for immediate feedback and it also adds an element of fun by answering a funny riddle.
Connect what students need to know about scientific notation with the subject it's most used in! This worksheet includes questions that are multiple choice, open-ended, and fill-in-the-blank. It's a two-page, 15-question sheet called Science in Math. On this sheet, students will change numbers from scientific notation into standard notation (and vice versa), order scientific notation numbers, and identify numbers in correct scientific notation.
This worksheet has 10 questions with two parts. This first part of the question asks the student to translate a verbal phrase into a numerical phrase. The second part asks the student to evaluate the phrase given a value for the variable.
It's a great worksheet that combines two important concepts!
Use this sheet to quickly access what students got from your lesson about real numbers. The top part asks students to write down one sentence about what they learned for each of the subsets. The bottom part asks the students to write a letter to a new student that missed the lesson to explain the real number system.
This is a 2-page review with questions separated into three categories -- rational numbers, irrational numbers, and real numbers. It would be a great study guide if done in class so everyone has the right answer.
This activity is a way to analyze how students think about the relationships in the Real Number System. It gives them a space to illustrate their understanding and a space to explain it. It's a good way to wrap up this unit or evaluate their understanding. The student work would also look good on a bulletin board!

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.
