When I showed a set of Anglegs to a high school math department and everyone said, âWhat are those?â I knew I needed to blog about these amazing manipulatives!
Anglegs come in six lengths of plastic that easily snap together to explore plane geometry. When you snap two Anglegs, of any length together, you can snap a special 4â protractor to explore angles.…

âThe journey for an education starts with a childhood question.â    – David L. Finn
As I played âConversion Concentrationâ with a small group of students at the Games Station, one student asked the inevitable question about conversions,
âWhy do we have to learn this stuff?â…
Exponents are useful, applicable, mathematical, and sometimes downright annoying! I like the way BetterExplained.Com explains it.
Numbers arenât just a count; a better viewpoint is a position on a line. This position can be negative (-1), between other numbers (sqrt(2)), or in another dimension (i).
What does 3^10 mean to you?…
As another amazing school year comes to a close, most educators are counting the days and the minutes until summer break arrives. However, some educators are reflecting on the past nine or so months and how to make the next school year even better.
I asked one of these reflective practitioners, Ashley Sumrell, Curriculum Resource Teacher at Steele Creek Preparatory Academy, to share her strategy of beginning the school year using station rotations.…
I received an email this morning from a Geometry Instructor/Assistant Athletic Director who has been using the Tabor Rotation Framework at the Secondary Level for the past two years. Attached to it was a real-world assessment of the geometrical concept of transformations. I was engaged just by reading it!…
Fun isn’t always educational and education isn’t always fun, but when the two come together â it just doesn’t get any better.           -Tom Jackson
I strongly believe that you can make any math concept fun if youâll just take some problems, add a little competition, a little challenge, an obstacle or two, and maybe a game board.…

I donât remember Algebra being fun in school. I donât remember any hands-on experiences for anything in Algebra–including expressions. So, when I began teaching Algebra I was determined to make it concrete-to-pictorial-to-abstract and, above all else, it was going to be FUN!
One of the ways I do this is by incorporating roaches, flies, and ladybugs into my Algebra guided math lessons and into my Tabor Rotation math stations.…
How do you manage a classroom?
How do you run stations or small groups?
How do you get students to pay attention for longer than two minutes?
All of these questions have been asked repeatedly by those who work with any level and any subject. I am frequently asked these questions in training and debriefing sessions since I specialize in small-group instruction in the classroom.…
