About the store
Hello! Just a fellow teacher who makes a lot of activities for my own students - I hope you find resources in my store that make your life easier, help your class lock in (as the kids say), and generate collaboration and math conversations amongst your students :) A little about me if you want more details... I have taught at the high school level for my entire teaching career - this school year is my 9th year teaching. I have taught on-level, inclusion, and advanced sections. I also have over 5,000 hours of 1-on-1 tutoring experience and have been the lead instructor at a math learning center... all while having a full-time teaching job - I guess I keep pretty busy! The 24-25 school year will be my fourth year of adding resources to my TPT store and I am excited to help my fellow educators in any way I can. If there is ever any resource you would like to have created, feel free to reach out!

Teaching style

I believe for students to understand math, they must DO math - it is not a spectator sport. Practice makes perfect. Teacher modeling is essential, and then practice of the new concepts through peer collaboration and intentional activities brings it all together!

My own education history

I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a major in Math and Psychology.
