About the store

I am beginning my third year as a full-time public school teacher. I spent my first year teaching 7th grade at a Title 1 middle school in Houston and nearly quit in the middle of February. Some how I managed to land a job teaching 8th grade and algebra in suburban Round Rock the year after where I intend to stay for the foreseeable future. I've met with considerable success in Round Rock and have started making much of my own content, all of which is directly aligned to the TEKS which are themselves based on common core. I also teach number sense.

This page includes 4 problems which prompt students to model and solve an algebraic equation. The page also includes two summary problems for students to express their level of understanding. While this page would be helpful in any algebra or pre-algebra classroom, as far as I can tell the details of the standard are specific to Texas.

This Data Analysis Test is the follow up to the associated review. It is a ten question multiple choice test which focuses on the trend lines, scatter plots, correlations, predictions, and absolute mean deviation. Texas standards are tagged to each problem as a margin note. Given sufficient demand I can upload a version directly aligned to common core or without any margin notes at all.

About the store

Experience

Teaching style

I use a combination of direct instruction and student led facilitation though I have yet to master either style or get the ratio right. Students need incentives, direction, crystal clear expectations, and space to figure things out for themselves so I try to provide those things.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I won a fellowship for an essay I wrote about disparate student motivations when I was in graduate school but otherwise nobody has noticed me in any official capacity.

My own education history

I earned a graduate degree from St. Edward's University in Mathematics Education with a specialization in algebra education, hold an undergraduate degree in Humanities, and have earned 28 hours worth of undergraduate level mathematics.
