Since I’m teaching trig this year, I wanted to create some special right triangles posters to jog my students’ memories. Special right triangles are a topic they study in geometry but have often forgotten by the time they end up in my trig class. I designed the title to print on 8.5″ x 11″ and …
One of my favorite strategies to use during group/team work is red/yellow/green cups. I have also heard these referred to as traffic light cups in the past. I bought a package of each color of cups at Party City a few years ago. I’m still using the same cups, so they’ve held up well. I …
A continual focus in my classroom is helping my students build a growth mindset.

This summer, I decided …

Today I’m sharing left and right posters with you. I feel like I need to apologize in advanced because this blog is getting ready to be taken over by posters. I’ve got a new classroom to decorate, and I’m taking full advantage of that fact. (There’s also the fact that my husband has a new …
I’m extremely proud of this math welcome poster banner I created! Inspiration So, I’m not at #TMC16, but I’ve been following along with the adventures on Twitter as best as I can.

My Algebra 2 kids are working with rational expressions. I’m pretty sure it’s my least favorite topic to teach in the world. It’s tedious, and it’s a nightmare for my students who haven’t fully mastered factoring. My students have traditionally struggled with remembering that they can only cancel factors and not terms. I started fighting …
The other day, Casey tweeted a request for a poster. In an attempt to procrastinate on my to-do list, I gave it an attempt. It’s a Harry Potter quote, and I’m not a Harry Potter fan. I’m pretty sure I read part of the first book when I was in middle school. And, I’ve been …
Yesterday, I mentioned some HOYVUX notes we took in Algebra 2 as a review. Here they are again, for reference. A month ago, Mary Williams posted a link on twitter to this video sneak peak of her classroom. I got really excited when it revealed HOYVUX posters. As soon as I saw them, I decided …
This year, I am having a terrible time getting my posters to stay on the wall. Every day, I play the “let’s see how many posters fell down overnight” game. #sofun This summer, I made a set of Convince Me posters. They started out hanging under my dry erase board. But, every day, I would …

This summer, I found this picture on pinterest that says We Learn Math. What’s Your Super Power? I downloaded it to my computer, but now I can’t find where I actually pinned it. This is unfortunate because I used it as inspiration for a poster, and now I can’t exactly give credit where credit is …
Today I want to share a Always Show All of Your Thinking poster I created for my classroom.

Guess what I’m posting today. Yup. Another poster. 😀 I won’t be allowed to start decorating my classroom until late next week, so I’ve been compensating by making new stuff to decorate it with.
