I created this set of 12 basic functions posters to accompany the 12 Basic Functions Challenge Activity for my Pre-Calculus Classes. I decided the posters deserve a page of their own so they can be more easily found and downloaded. Each one of these posters represented one of the 12 basic functions identified in our …

I’m here today to share some Roots Solutions Zeros X-Intercepts Posters. Yes, that is a mouthful. Yesterday, I started doing some serious planning for teaching Algebra 2 in less than a month! I’m at a new school that has adopted new textbooks, and I’m not exactly the biggest fan of the chosen Algebra 2 book. …
Today I’m sharing some Triangular Numbers Posters with you. It’s January, and I’m still finding new things that need to go up on the walls of my classroom. It’s a bit of an obsession. Don’t believe me? Just take a look at my classroom! My Math Concepts class has been working on “That’s Logical” puzzles …
I’m jealous of these inequality posters that my husband made for his classroom. I need to find a way to incorporate them into my classroom decor next year! You can find these posters on Shaun’s blog!
Usually, I’m a big fan of decorating my bulletin boards. Hello, I have an entire page on my blog dedicated to bulletin board designs. This year, after moving classrooms for the second time in two years, I decided to take a different approach to bulletin boards. I still decorated the walls around my bulletin boards, …
At the beginning of my career, I ran across a set of free scientific method posters from Scholastic. I remember thinking to myself, “These are so cute. I almost wish I was a science teacher!” Fast forward a few years. I’m now teaching chemistry after teaching physical science last year. This means I can finally …
This year, I am trying out Estimation 180 in my Math Concepts class, a class for 9th graders not yet ready for Algebra 1. After two weeks of giving students the formula for percent error EVERY SINGLE DAY, I finally made an Estimation 180 Poster! This poster was inspired by a tweet from Lisa Bejarano. …
During the first week of school, I took a page from Sara VanDerWerf’s playbook and showed my students the escalator and beagle videos mentioned in this blog post. I highly recommend you read about how Sara uses these in class. I basically copied everything she said! The escalator video is especially moving. Whenever I watch …
Another day. Another poster. Today I’m sharing some SI Units Posters. I guess that must mean it’s back to school time. I’m teaching chemistry for the first time this year, so I decided I need to up the number of science-y posters on my walls. Last year, I found out I was teaching physical science …
I want to share a set of TULSA Graphing Posters here on the blog today. Today was definitely not my day. Our first professional day is tomorrow, so I decided it would be wise to go into school early today to try and get used to the fact that summer is over. After a bit …
One of the reasons I adore my physical science class is that they love the posters I have hanging up in my classroom. Decorating my classroom makes my heart happy, and the fact that I have students who take the time to show appreciation for my hard work just makes my heart even happier. A …
I’m excited to share a new poster – the Good at Math poster – with you today. Today, my students have been taking semester tests. The good thing about semester tests is that I don’t have any lessons to prepare. I guess I did write the tests, but I don’t count that since it was …
Today, I want to share a poster I recently made for my physical science class. We’ve been writing chemical reactions, and my students need a bit of a reminder about which elements exist diatomically. When I took chemistry in high school, my teacher taught us the BrINClHOF mnemonic device. I guess it’s catchy because it’s …
I gave my students a chart for prefixes for naming covalent compounds in their notebook, but I decided that we’re going to be using these prefixes enough that it warrants a poster for quick reference. Here’s what I came up with for my prefixes poster. I designed this poster to print on 11 x 17 …
On my podium, I hung a poster which reads “Ms. Hagan. Teacher of Awesome. (And by “Awesome” I mean “Math.”) The saying for this poster was inspired by a poster I saw shared on Pinterest. You’ll obviously need to update the file to reflect your own name! Another year, I printed the posters on several …
I have a laminated poster that says “Today is.” Each day, I try and remember to write the date as a math problem. This is a trick I picked up from my cooperating teacher while I was student teaching. Students HATE it because it makes them do a bit of extra math to figure out …
I want to share a 2 Nice Things Poster I created for my classroom. Two nice things is an idea I stole a long time ago from Elissa Miller. When a students says something mean toward another student/themselves/anything, they have to say two nice things about that same thing. So simple yet so powerful. …
Under my Today is Poster, I have my birthday poster. My This Week’s Birthdays Poster was inspired by Hannah‘s My Favorite at #TMC16. At the end of last year, I overheard a student tell another student that he had been the only person to wish them a happy birthday. Her parents had forgotten it was …
After making significant figure posters for my classroom, my mind started wandering to other topics that could also become posters. Last week, we discussed the difference between accuracy and precision. We took notes and classified targets according to their accuracy and precision. I decided to take the target idea and make it into a set …
Today I’m sharing some significant figures posters I created. Since I’m teaching physical science this year for the first time, I’m having to review a lot of stuff I haven’t thought about since I was in high school. One of those things is significant figures. As I’ve been reviewing the rules in preparation to teach …
Today I want to share a set of new SBG Posters I created. This year, I have decided to switch from my A/B/Not Yet SBG scale to a 1-4 SBG scale. When I tweeted about stopping A/B/Not Yet, I got several questions about why I was making this decision. I absolutely loved the A/B/Not Yet …
Check out these positive and negative infinity posters I created to add to my horizontal number line poster in my classroom. School starts TOMORROW. Well, kids come on Monday, but I have to be there TOMORROW. I’ll also be there today, but y’all all know how that is. Since I need to get to school …
I created this set of includes vs excludes posters to help students remember how we show that a number is included or excluded in mathematics. I actually came up with the idea for these posters the other night when I was having trouble falling asleep. My mind could only think about school stuff. Shortly before …
I spent most of this morning making new posters for my classroom and most of this afternoon writing quizzes (4 versions of each) for our first unit in trigonometry. Today I want to share a set of What Should Your Answer Look Like Posters. I think it’s finally hit me that school is RIGHT around …
Today I want to share my Adventures of Slope Dude Posters that I created for my high school math classroom. It’s no secret around here that I love Slope Dude. Haven’t seen the video? You HAVE to click on the link. Trust me. I know different people have different opinions of Slope Dude. When …
