I am no longer a math teacher, I have become a teacher-librarian at my site. I am very excited about my next stage in teaching and am looking forward to working with students in a different capacity. I will keep this site up, but will no longer be adding PP's (well maybe once and a while :). Please contact me if you have any questions!!! (agallacher@psusd.us)

New PowerPoints

For all you Twilight fans, here is my lastest work of art :) This PowerPoint is on geometry and covers most of what is tested on the CST's.

Twilight Bingo

I am a big Star Trek fan, so in honor of the new movie I made a "full" book review using the New Star Trek movie as my theme. Hope you like it!! I have included some cool sound effects you can add to the powerpoint, I have found that the kids love them! (To insert sound: download, right click and save taget as. Then open the powerpoint and choose Insert from menu and select movie or sound, then sound from file. Choose from auto or when clicked, I use auto for these and your done). Just added Harry Potter another CST review on things we thought our students needed to know before the BIG test :)

Middle School Math Project: (EETT Grant) We (the seventh grade math team) are using technology in our math classrooms to improve student learning and conceptual understanding of mathematics. As part of our grant we purchased Qwizdoms, Interwrite Pads, Laptop computers, and LCD projectors. We are using United Streaming, Brain Pop, MicroSoft Office as well as other online resources. We use the California Standards and Holt Mathematics: Book 2 as our main resources. Our team is working together to create fun and interactive activities in our classrooms to engage students. We are excited to share our progress and setbacks with other interested teachers. Our API is 761 (up almost 51 points from last year) and our school rank is 6 state-wide (up one from last year) and 8 in simular school (up 2 from last year, these are from last year as school ranking are not out for this year yet). See California Test Results for more information. Our goal is to reach 800 in the next 5 years :).

Graphic Organizers

We are focusing on using graphic organizers, or Thinking Maps, this year in an effort to help students take better notes. A great site for math graphic orgainzers is http://www.sw-georgia.resa.k12.ga.us/GO%204-8/4-8%20GO.htm. Vocabulary is also a focus and we working to help our ELA students have a better understanding of the language of math. I am going to be creating some math graphic organizers and will post them as they are created.

Circle graphs chapter 6.1

Pick Six graphic organizer

We are developing technology activities for each chapter in the Holt Mathematics: Book 2 for 7th grade math. Our standards are at California Math Standards Grade 7 .

All PowerPoint's will be available on this web site and movies can be accessed throughUnited Streaming.

CST Review (State Test)

These activities were created by our 7th grade team (Angie, Kim and Sue) to help prepare our students for the upcoming state tests, we hope you find them helpful. If you have any activities to share please email us (see above for address)

I mean this from the very bottom of my heart!!

________

Your site is awesome. This year we went to 86 minute math periods and some of your ideas will help make that block more interesting. Thank you so much for sharing.

_________

Thank you so much for sharing your awesome website. The powerpoints are wonderful! I plan to share your information with the math teachers in my school system (Carroll County-located in Georgia).

_________

I just want to commend you on such a wonderful website! I love everything about it. Would you mind if I take some of you powerpoints and tweak them to fit Georgia Standards and use them in my classroom? I also want to know if I am allowed to put my versions on my school web page for my students to access. Either way, you've done a fantastic job!

Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Incredible!!! It was serendipitous that I found your site. I am very impressed with you, your creative website, your creative power points, your creative activities, and most of all, your unbelievable generosity. I too am teaching Holt Course 2 for 7th grade and looking forward to trying some of your power point lessons and activities. What kind of computer do you have??? I am looking forward to your upcoming power points designed specifically for Holt. You are a find!!!! Thank you!

___________

This is my first year teaching 7th grade math in the Philadelphia School District. I teach in a low income area that is very fortunate to have access to Promethean boards and laptop computers in the classroom. I am always looking for ways to improve my teaching and technology is a huge part of that. Your site is awesome!

______

I am the RTI Comprehensive Remediation Math teacher at a Middle School SC. My job is to fill in the gaps of my 6th,7th and 8th graders based on their performance on our state's standardized test. I am always looking for ways to review with them. I found your website especially helpful to assist my 8th graders (filling in 7th grade gaps)

Thank you for all your hard work- and know that there is a small classroom in SC that loves your powerpoints and jeopardy games. I love the fact that I don't have to recreate the wheel <grin>

______

Thank you so much for the website and all the activities and suggestions you have posted there! I only wish I had found it at the beginning of the school year instead of the end of the year!

I've been teaching a very long time and it's time I updated my approach to teaching 7th graders! They get pretty bored with ol' Ms A....this will really help spice things up for them!

Thank you!

______

I was searching the internet for some slope activities when I happened upon your website. Wow!!! It is awesome. I have added it to my favorites for easy access.

I was very impressed with the slideshow presentations of your math lessons. They are very thoughtful, and well designed so that students can learn the material in easily digested steps. I am very impressed that each lesson seems to end with a short quiz of five problems. This models the way that I teach as well. The quiz ends the lesson as a reinforcement.
