Life Skills Dress Up a Snowman
This is a great Google Slides activity that would be a great one to use during the winter in a computer lab. It could be used for grades 3-9. The skills that it focuses on are: copying and pasting; rotating; arranging (move to front, move to back, etc). My students had a great time with this activity!
3rd - 9th
Computer Science - Technology
Interest Rate Comparison Activity
This is a great lesson to show how comparing different principal amounts and different types of compound interest as well as continuously compounding interest produces a different amount at the end of the investment time. The second part of the activity is higher order and requires them to choose the best investment and to do a journal writing activity.
9th - 12th
Algebra 2, Applied Math, Business
Function Family Scrapbook
This is a great project to do as a review before state testing on all the functions or to use throughout the year and have the kids complete one part as you teach each of the functions. I love the final results and the kids that do not like "worksheets" always excel at this hands-on project which allows them to shine and show their personality.
8th - 12th
Algebra, Algebra 2, Graphing
Real World Stats Project
This project allows students the autonomy of choosing their own topic, while giving the teacher the ability to approve the chosen topic. This would be a great culminating activity after completing a Statistics chapter or unit in lieu of the test.
9th - 12th
Algebra, Algebra 2, Statistics
Expanding and Condensing Logarithms - Quiz-Quiz-Trade Activity
This is a Quiz-Quiz-Trade cooperative learning activity to practice working on condensing and expanding logarithms. It would be a great activity to use in an Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, or College Algebra class.
9th - 12th
Algebra 2, Math, PreCalculus
Fraction Fairy Tales Booklet
This a a great project to incorporate fractions, all operations, writing, and student choice. These make a nice item to integrate math, reading, and writing and would be great to do when you have 3-5 days at the end of the quarter, semester, or after state testing. It is high engagement and once they get started, it is very independent.

Missouri Learning Standards - Algebra I - Word Doc - Table - 2016
I took the Missouri Learning Standards Algebra I document that was adopted April 19, 2016 from the DESE website (pdf form and all of 6-12 math together) and typed it into a table in a word document so that I can use it easily for lesson planning and to cut and paste into other documents. Save yourself the time and use mine.

Giant Hand Giant Snack - Proportions Project
This project has the students make a giant hand and a giant snack to see what a giant that was the same proportions as they are would eat. I did this project with my geometry students (mostly freshman and sophomores) but you could probably also do it with 7th and 8th grade and/or Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1.

Missouri Learning Standards - Geometry - Word Doc - Table - 2016
I took the Missouri Learning Standards Geometry document that was adopted April 19, 2016 from the DESE website (pdf form and all of 6-12 math together) and typed it into a table in a word document so that I can use it easily for lesson planning and to cut and paste into other documents. Save yourself the time and use mine.

English and Metric Measurement Activity
This activity has the students measure in both the English and Metric Measurement systems, compare their results with a partner, as well as write about different portions of the activity. Writing in math is so important, I love to include those types of questions for my students. I would use this with a MS 6th-8th grade class or an Integrated HS Math class.

Experience
I have taught mathematics for 15 years. I started out teaching 6th-8th grade, then moved to High School and started with Integrated Math I, II, III and Algebra I. Currently the last 8 years have had me teaching Algebra I, II, Geometry, Integrated Math, College Algebra and Statistics.
Teaching style
I love to teach using foldables, interactive notebooks, hands-on activities, projects as well as some traditional teaching ideas. I love to use VARIETY to help my kids stay interested and cut down on boredom. My goals through teaching are to create relationships through mutual respect and help students learn to appreciate mathematics and to understand it versus just being able to follow a process or procedure that has been memorized without understanding. I feel that projects and real-world problems allow for the greatest understanding and learning.
My own education history
I have attended both Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, MO and Missouri State University in Springfield, MO. I graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics and have taken over 30 graduate hours and am currently trying to finish my MS degree at MSU.
Additional biographical information
I am a single mom with two beautiful children. I am one of those Math Nerds that loves curriculum. I love to design new activities and units. For a long time I have shared many of these items in workshops and at conferences. I am hoping now to be able to use this love of math and curriculum to help my family financially.
