That Build Project Checklist ✔ 23 pages with 19 separate work sections. A must for all construction projects! Do you want to be ahead and super organised? Fail to prepare, prepare to fail! This is my personal go to at the start of every project and I work with it until project completion. I first made this checklist when I was project managing my own self build house. I quickly discovered that there are many many elements to consider, far more than what I had initially realised myself and lots of people that you have to liaise with. This list became my reference point, tracker and record for each stage. It enabled me to think ahead and really plan each stage of my project. What makes this particularly useful is having the works divided into categories. This checklist contains 19 separate sections with a contents page and cover. My advice to you would be to print each page and add to a ring binder with dividers. This way you can continuously with ease go to certain areas of work and add notes, reminders, drawings, correspondence etc. Should you have any questions or feedback please do get in touch. Thankyou for your purchase and very best of luck with your projects 🌟 Jess Hulme

Factoring has been my nemesis for years. I don't think I have taught it entirely the same way twice. My students arrive in Algebra 2 with some experience in factoring, but I always feel like many of them are learning it from scratch. This year's changes to the factoring extravaganza include adding in this activity, where students try to match two binomials to each quadratic: I had students do this matching activity before I gave them any specific factoring strategies or rules (we had previously reviewed multiplying binomials). I wanted them thinking about the question "What two binomials multiply to get this polynomial?" I wanted them to develop some intuition about factoring before I hit 'em with a specific method. After ten minutes of this, a few groups were finished. The rest were making progress but it was a struggle. "Isn't there another way to do this, Mrs. Gruen?" Well, yes there is, I am so glad you asked! And then I showed them the airplane method, which I tweaked a tiny bit this year (I will write about that soon). And they just ate it up.

Soft cover book with staple binding. 48 pages with 22 images to color Size: 8½ x 11 in. Coloring pages are blank on the back so they can be cut out and displayed. Painting complex creatures with simplicity, and without losing their true character, was a signature skill of Charley Harper (American, 1922–2007). He painted animals from all continents, both wild and domestic, and created now famous posters for organizations that care for and protect animals. He combined his talent with a respect for the world’s creatures to create artwork that has delighted animal lovers for decades.Harper grew up on a farm in West Virginia and studied at the Art Students League of New York and the Art Academy of Cincinnati. In 1947 Harper and his wife, Edie, went on a six-month journey through the United States. While at the Grand Canyon, he understood that realism couldn’t capture its immensity. Harper decided he must reduce what he saw to its simplest forms—a decision that led directly to his self-described minimal realist style. His classic animal artwork that uses clear geometric forms is perfect for a set of coloring books.Inside are twenty-two pages of Charley Harper’s playful animals, with his full-color illustrations featured on the inside of the front and back covers. Don’t forget about the blank pages at the end—we’ve left them there for you to draw the animals you find in your world.A Sample of Selections: The sea otter loves to float around and eat, and sometimes it uses tools like rocks to pry open its favorite shellfish. The name of this painting is Otterly Delicious. The plump quail likes to stay low, foraging and building its nest on the ground. The lucky little ladybug is pretty smart, too: its shining red wings and black spots tell predators to stay away. The name of this painting is Lucky Ladybug. The brilliant feathers and prideful tail of the orange-bellied trogon can be spotted in the humid forest canopies of Panama and Costa Rica. Don’t feed the bears! But black bears do enjoy munching on berries they find in the wild. The name of this painting is Blackbeary Jam.
