About the store
We are both teachers of 14 years. The items we post to our store come from our own classrooms, so we know how important high-quality lessons are to you and your students. Thank you for the opportunity to bring our lessons into your classroom. We have experience in all grades of high school and middle school. We also have vast experiences from previous adventures in elementary school. We are both special education teachers, with certifications in High School Math, Science and English, and have worked in nearly all subject areas with a variety of students. Since we both teach in different areas our store has a wide array of lessons. You will find many math and english lessons. Denae' has been teaching life skills, work experience, english and social studies classes. During the past few years Patrick has been focused primarily in math including; Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Physics. Therefore, we have some unique lessons that would be difficult to find elsewhere.

Standard Form of Linear Functions - X and Y Intercept Scavenger Hunt (Set of 15)

This 15 poster scavenger hunt requires students to examine the characteristics of linear function graphs. Have students analyze a question and find the graph that matches the information. Students will: Determine the x and y-intercepts for a linear equation written in standard form. After finding the information, students will find the graph that matches their intercepts. Students will write down the correct letter on their answer sheet. Extension idea - Have students rewrite the equat

X- and Y-Intercept Matching Activity (CCSS.HSF.IF.B.4)

This matching activity is designed to be practice for students in finding the x- and y-intercepts of a graph and from an equation. Students will have to use critical thinking skills in order to match the three sets. Finding intercepts is a difficult task for students to attain. This practice will help students see the relation between an ordered pair, equation of a line and a graphed line. You may also like: X and Y-intercepts Scavenger Hunt Linear Modeling Projects!

X and Y-intercepts Scavenger Hunt (CCSS.HSF.IF.B.4)

This is a math scavenger hunt that focuses on students ability to identify x and y-intercepts of linear functions in standard and slope intercept form. This is a great practice activity or refresher from students in all types of algebra. We love these activities because they let students work independently and assess their own work. This gives them ownership of their work, which they love. We have had nothing but success using scavenger hunts in our math classes! This is definitely one of our f

Box and Whiskers Matching

This activity is all about matching a data set to its 5 number summary and box-and-whiskers plot. Students are given 7 sets of data and have to find the 5 number summary and plot that match it. Matching is a great way to have students analyze a bunch of data at one time and look for similarities and differences. Our students love all matching activities we do and as teachers we feel they get a great deal out of doing them!
