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.

8th Grade Data Analysis Test
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.

8th Grade Data Analysis Review
This review covers the use of trend lines, scatter plots, correlations, predictions, and absolute mean deviation. Since I live and work in Texas each problem includes a margin note which indicates the standard on which the problem is based. Texas uses the TEKS which are based on common core, but are a unique set of standards. Given sufficient demand, I can upload a version directly aligned to common core and or a version without any margin notes at all.

Non-Linear Functions Test
This assessment includes multiple representations and transformations of exponential functions. It also includes inverse variation and geometric sequences though those two topics are not the focus. It is also very easy which is why I've offered it for free. Most of my tests are a notch above this on the difficulty scale.

Equations and Inequalities Free Response Assessment
TEKS 8.8A (write equations and inequalities), 8.8B (write corresponding real world problems), 8.8C (model and solve equations), and 8.8D (use informal arguments about angle relationships.
This assessment is open ended and not as closes aligned to the TEKS as I would like (8.8D, specifically) so it is free.

Experience
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.
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.
Additional biographical information
I play guitar, meditate, and get lost on the internet in my spare time.
