About the store
Welcome to the Thin-Sliced Math Lab! This store is dedicated helping secondary math teachers implement Thinking Classrooms with ease. I specialize in creating high-engagement "thin-sliced" problem sets that move students seamlessly from low-floor hooks to high-ceiling mastery. Every resource is engineered to minimize frustration and maximize flow, allowing you to spend less time planning and more time facilitating deep mathematical thinking.
As an entrepreneur and curriculum developer, I’ve spent years refining the art of the Problem String. I know firsthand that while thin-slicing is the most effective way to keep a classroom in a state of flow, it is incredibly time-consuming to craft sets that are mathematically rigorous yet perfectly leveled. I do the heavy lifting of sequencing, leveling, and "spicing" these tasks so you can walk into your classroom confident that every student—from the struggling learner to the advanced mathematician—has a clear path forward.

Exponent Rules | Power Rule | BTC Thin-Sliced | Printable | Algebra, Precalc
Exponent Rules Thin-Sliced Practice: The Power Rule is designed to build deep understanding of exponent rules through purposeful, structured problem design. If you’re looking for exponent rules practice that develops thinking (not just repetition), this resource is for you. What Makes This Different? This resource uses the thin-slicing framework from Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by Peter Liljedahl (Corwin, 2021). Thin-sliced problems are not typical textbook exercises. They are:

Teaching style
I am a firm believer that every student is a "math person" when given the right entry point. My teaching philosophy is centered on the Peter Liljedahl framework: prioritizing collaborative vertical surfaces and non-permanent thinking. I focus on the "Goldilocks" of curriculum design: making sure the "delta" (the change between problems) is just right. My resources are built to foster student autonomy, reduce math anxiety, and turn your classroom into a buzzing hub of collective discovery.
