Class Experience

In this class, we will use Skittles in learning to create and interpret graphs using the different colors of Skittles found in our individual bags. This process allows each student to create his or her own  unique graph from  their own bag of Skittles.  The  students can repeat this process  with another bag of Skittles and have a different  graph  every time they open a new bag.

Participants will:
Learn vocabulary: bar graphs, circle/pie graphs, Histograms,& frequency tables
Learn the difference in a Histogram and Bar graph
Create their own Histogram with Skittles
Compare other students graphs with each other to determine how data changes in each package of skittles
Create, Estimate, Explain & calculate Data

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am so excited to be a part of online learning that Out School offers.  I teach math classes geared to 5th-10th grade where I focus on Pre-algebra and Algebra. Math is my main focus but will offer other topics from time to time.  
After earning my Bachelors of Science Degree in math education from Texas Women’s University in 1995 I began teaching in the public school in Texas.  I have taught math in grades 5th through 8th including high school Algebra.  I have been an  interventionist for brick and mortar and online schools since 2008.  As an interventionist I  help students  with math that is a struggle for them.   In 2013 I earned my Masters in Educational Leadership from Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas.  I hold a Texas Lifetime Teacher certificate in self contain elementary classroom and Math 1st through 8th grades.
Math is difficult for many students and my goal is to ease the stress of math by showing how math is possible for all learners.   My math classes will be structured by visually learning math using different ways of learning one math concept.  I will always model how to do the problem and then have students show me how to solve the problems.  My hope is to make math more interesting and fun so the student will have a better understanding.
