In this post are ideas for teaching algebraic functions, including activities, a study that I tell students to help function vs. not a function stick, a math word wall and an awesome introductory activity to introduce nonlinear functions.
Fact fluency is a big part of math in first grade. You may be thinking, "How in the world am I going to teach these kiddos ALL these facts w...
I love teaching all algebra topics with tons of interactive and collaborative activities that get students thinking independently and working together. This way everyone gets the practice they need to feel confident in algebra. Here are a bunch of slope activities that you can assign to students working in group or even digitally. I have updated many of the activities to now include links to interactive digital slope activities in Google Slides and Google Forms for blended learning.

Yes! FREE homeschool math curriculum for K-8th grade does exist and it's wonderfully Charlotte Mason. Click, print, and done! Watch the video
Do you have a highschooler doing advanced math and Trigonometry at home?Trigonometry, at it's most basic level, is concerned with the measurement of triangles - calculations of unknown lengths and angles. The trigometric functions have a number of practical applications in real life and also help in the solutions of problems in many branches of mathematics.
Are you looking for a way to scaffold math vocabulary and concepts and make math more visual? In this post are photos of math word walls for elementary, middle and high school math along with photos of math classroom word walls that teachers have sent to me of their math classroom set up. Included in this post are links to free math word wall cards and discounted printable math word wall bundles for a variety of math topics. I am updating each math word wall to include a virtual option. Now in the files will be color, black and white and interactive digital math word wall options.

Math Spiral Review Homework & morning work have proven to be the most effective resource in helping students practice and retain math skills.
This water lab is a super fun way to introduce nonlinear functions in an algebra class. The math department at my school uses this lab as a way to start the school year in Algebra 2. The students love it, and by the end of the lab every student understands what it means to be an algebraic function!

24 question assessment covering reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations. All transformations are centered about the origin and the x and y axis. 16 of the questions are multiple-choice and 8 are open-ended. Answer-key included.
I develop curriculum for middle school math. I focus on using critical-thinking skills in my content so the math makes sense to the students.
Using Math Stations in Middle School can be daunting but when you have tried and tested materials you know that they can and will work in your classroom.
Topics include planning, organizing, and managing math workshop, as well as finding math center games and activities to use in your classroom!
Is it really almost time to go back to school? I have always had a love-hate relationship with this time of year. I hate the thought of summer being almost over, but there is just something about...

If you’ve ever struggled to keep your students’ attention during your middle or high school algebra and geometry classes, this is for you.
Do you use Math Stations in your classroom? Do you want to help your students review in a meaningful way? Do you want to engage your students in the Math content? I was hesitant at first when I started using Math Stations, but quickly found out how valuable they are! Math Stations (also called Math Workshops) is a system of different types of activities in the classroom for the students to complete based on the same topic. I have created the 6th Grade Math Stations BUNDLE to cover all of the Math topics related to grade six and also cover all of the sixth grade common core standards. {Click HERE to download} These Math Stations activities are helpful to students in that they review concepts, practice Math, apply Math, and read about the Math in the real world. There are many different ways you can use these stations as they are versatile for the teacher to pick and choose which ones you want to use on any given day. If you already use Math stations in your classroom these can complement your set with additional practice and applications for students to review Common Core Standards. {Click HERE to download} This Middle School Math Station Bundle is a COMPLETED BUNDLE covering ALL 6th grade Common Core Standards! {Click HERE to download} Included are the following Math Stations: Math Stations: Integers Math Stations: Factors & Multiples Math Stations: Rational Numbers Math Stations: Operations with Fractions Math Stations: Operations with Decimals Math Stations: Representing Rates & Ratios Math Stations: Applying Rates & Ratios Math Stations: Percents Math Stations: Equivalent Numerical Expressions Math Stations: Equivalent Algebraic Expressions Math Stations: Equations & Relationships Math Stations: Relationships in Two Variables Math Stations: Distance & Area in the Coordinate Plane Math Stations: Area & Polygons Math Stations: Surface Area & Volume of Solids Math Stations: Displaying, Analyzing, & Summarizing Data There are many different ways to incorporate the math stations in your classroom. I have used book bins (from Lakeshore Learning) to keep them organized and easily accessible for the students. I also have a FREE math stations bin labels HERE for download. This is a great resource for your students to be actively engaged in the learning process. Students gain self-confidence and own their learning process when they are given the chance to work independently on Math Stations. Students are always asking "when is math station day?" That's a great feeling to know your students enjoy the learning process and want to work independently at school. Happy Teaching!
Capturing your students’ interest and curiosity during the first few minutes of class is the key to keeping them engaged for your entire lesson. But not all math warm up activities are created equally. Math teachers miss out on activating their students’ critical thinking and reasoning skills when
