Experiencia de clase

In this class, students will learn pre-algebra standards.  I use real-life examples and virtual manipulatives to help students understand difficult topics in a concrete way.  

Week 1:  Dot plots and calculating the mean absolute deviation
Week 2:  Scatterplots
Week 3:  Probability and sample spaces
Week 4:  Compound probability
Week 5:  Rates and Ratios
Week 6:  Integers
Week 7:  Simplifying algebraic expressions and distributive property
Week 8:  Exponent rules
Week 9:  Solving Equations
Week 10:  Solving Equations with no solution and infinite solutions

At the beginning of each class, we will have a short informal review to assess how well they understood the previous concept and give help as needed.  During the lesson, I teach with lots of interaction.  I go through examples and teach the concepts.  Throughout the lesson, the students are doing several problems infused in the lesson so they can practice the skills as we go along.  I use a fun game to review the skills at the end of the week.  Students should have a basic knowledge of 7th-grade math skills, including multiplication and division.  They should be familiar with integers. It is important for me to be able to assess students throughout the class so it is helpful if they leave their camera open so I can reach out and help as necessary.  They will be allowed to use a calculator for the various exercises.  Homework for this class will be given on Khan Academy.

Metas de aprendizaje

Through this class, they will master the 8th grade standards in pre-algebra.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

I teach math, but I have a passion for photography and personal money management as well. My background includes teaching in the public/charter school setting for the past 26 years.  I have taught from kindergarten to Algebra, but a large portion of my experience has been teaching Jr High.  I teach pre-algebra, 7th grade, and 8th-grade math.  I received my Bachelor of Science from the University of Arizona in Elem. Education with a minor in Mathematics and my M Ed from Arizona State University in math education.  I have been a professional photographer as a side gig for the past 10 years.  I have taught money managing workshops to adults on occasion and helped many people one on one with easy ways to manage their finances.  

My personal philosophy is that to learn, you have to do, so my teaching involves a lot of interaction between myself and my students.  I teach, then they try it.  Then they try it, again and again, interacting with my teaching.  I feel it's important to get immediate feedback so I can see what they are understanding and help them with the things they are struggling with.  We use a lot of whiteboards.  I try to make every concept meaningful in some way and over the years, I have found ways to break it down and make, what could be complicated material, into something easy to understand.  

I have a large family that includes 17 nieces and nephews that I am very close to.  I love spending time with them.  My interest in photography began by taking photos of them and their families.  I enjoy being outdoors and my favorite exercise is hiking.  I grew up hiking the Grand Canyon with my family.  Now I like to hike around the mountains close to my home.
