Well, hello everyone!  This has been a crazy summer of job hunting and decision making.  I have found myself back in the classroom teaching ...

I tried something that I learned by reading a conversation on Twitter this summer.  I would only be guessing at who was having this conversa...

This picture caught my eye on Pinterest a while back and I am finally getting around to checking it out.  This comes from Matt Coaty who w...

Yep!  Tonight was one of those nights when I really needed to be pulling together my unit 1 plan for my algebra class, I found myself comp...

Well, I finally decided that I am going to remove the problem solving category from my grade book.  That isn't as horrifying as it sound...

The bottom x value is a 3.  It isn't very clear. A few years I switched schools and in that move, lots of stuff ended up in my offic...

It's hard to see on the picture, but the fish are Cs. As I was cleaning out files today, I came across some pictures of the "Al...

So, at the end of last year, I was reading through the posts on Edmodo that other math and social studies teachers had posted.  One that c...

Mathematical conversations are a technique that I learned over a year ago, but never put it into practice.  This year I am going to give it ...

Aren't they cute?!  I found these the other day at my local dollar store.  I plan to put them to good use this year when we come to th...

Here is an activity that I made a while back for finding slope from a graph.  I took a Kuta Software worksheet and turned it into a matchin...

Just a quick idea today.  My kiddos have been struggling to correctly identify the point in equations that use point-slope form for linear e...

This year, I was introduced to a website called Collaborative Mathematics through the math teacher's circle that I participate in once ...
