A Sample of My Work

• My Ideas About Teaching: A discussion of my general teaching philosophy and how I implemented it into the following lessons.

• A Lesson Using Active Learning: This is an active learning activity I created to reinforce students knowledge of transformations.

• A Lesson Using The Geometer's Sketchpad: This lesson uses GSP in teaching Systems of Linear Equations

• A Lesson Using the TI-82: This lesson uses the TI-82 in teaching correlation and linear regression.

• A Unit Using Cooperative Learning: This is a ten-day unit I created which uses cooperative learning, manipulatives and technology to teach conic sections.

• Exploring Magic Squares: This exploration focuses on the historical contributions of the Chinese and other peoples in the study of magic squares. Included in this exploration is a warm up I created to use in introducing systems of linear equations. A discussion of the different types of magic squares and some algorithms for creating them are also included.

• Exploring Triangles: This exploration focuses on some of the centers of triangles including the centroid, circumcenter, incenter and orthocenter and their relation to the Euler line. A demonstration of Napoleon's theorem is also included as well as a lesson using Fermat's point.
