About the store
I have taught math for 29 years in a public school system. The first 2 years were at a junior high school and the last 27 have been at a 9-12 high school. The subjects include basic math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus AB. I have also taught the many new math courses the state of Georgia has implemented in the past decade: Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, and Math 4. We are currently implementing the Common Core math courses of which I will be teaching Pre-Calculus and Statistical Reasoning.

Characteristics of Sine and Cosine Waves
This activity helps students to see the similarities and differences between the four basic sinusoidal waves. Students cut out all of the characteristics then line them up with the correct wave. Having a NONE category really makes them think! Once finished this can be used as a study guide in learning the different characteristics. The best size construction paper is 12 in by 18 in.

Teaching style
I believe learning math is like learning to play an instrument; you must practice. I assign homework almost every night and plan work sessions for at least part of the block each day (we are on a modified 4 block schedule). Technology in the form of the graphing calculator is integrated throughout the learning process.
