About Me

 Hi! My name is Kate, and I am passionate about making it easy for teachers to help their students grow the confidence in math through engaging and self-checking activities.

Hi, I'm Kate!

I started teaching high school math in 2007. I have taught everything from Pre-Algebra to PreCalculus. I have had honors classes, "regular" classes, and remedial classes. In 2018, I started teaching night classes at our local community college as well.

After my first year of teaching, I realized that so many students hated math and were not engaged when I simply taught out of a textbook. I started creating resources for my classroom in 2008, and saw a change in students attitude towards math in a positive way. This gave me the motivation to continue to create more fun and engaging resources for my classroom.

In 2022, I opened my TPT Store, Kate Dean - Secondary Math, to sell my tried and true resources to other teachers looking to break away from the "drill and kill" of a traditional textbook. Most of my resources are self-checking, which allows students the immediate feedback that is so important for students. The majority of my resources are for Geometry, Algebra 2, and PreCalculus.

Back to School Team Building Activities

  I recommend NOT going over the syllabus on the first day of class, and here's why: every teacher goes over the syllabus the first day of class. Not that there is anything wrong with this, but after hearing the same thing over and over, kids tend to stop listening. This is true if you have 8 periods a day or are on block schedule and only have 4. After 2nd period, kids stopped paying attention. So, what do you do on the first day of school if you don't go over the syllabus?  I like to do teambuilding activities the first day of school. My students work in teams all year, so I want to set the mood right away by having them do something as a team.  Before the kids leave, I do let them know what supplies are needed for class, and tell them there is a copy on Canvas (our LMS). This way, parents can go buy school supplies right away if they want. I start going over the syllabus over the next 2-3 class periods. I post a copy of the syllabus on Canvas so students can look thoug...

Flexible Seating in the High School Math Classroom

Flexible Seating in the high school classroom I sometimes wonder if I was supposed to be an elementary teacher rather than a high school math teacher. I LOVE decorating my classroom with all the things. I love having my students color, draw, and make paper chains. I especially love all of the fun furniture elementary teachers have in their classrooms! How my Flexible Seating Journey began... It became a mission of mine back in 2016 to figure out a way to incorporate flexible seating in my high school math classroom.  I started doing all the research (Pinterest became my new BFF), but quickly realized that flexible seating was mostly done in elementary classrooms - it simply wasn't a thing for high school. I had to be more creative in my searching. When I found something "elementary" that I liked, I had to find a "big kid" alternative to make it appropriate for high schoolers.  After about a year of collecting ideas, I realized that I would need some money to mak...

Ideas for Going Over Homework

One of my biggest struggles as a teacher has always been how to go over homework in class without taking up too much time.  Time is always a teacher's biggest enemy, and going over homework is part of the challenge. Some students want to go over every problem, which becomes difficult, especially when the level of math increases. There are other students who don't care about going over the homework (either because they didn't do it or because they aren't interested in seeing if they got the correct answers). This can then lead to off task behavior on some. I have tried so many different techniques when it comes to going over homework over my many years of teaching, and I thought I would share a few of my favorites. This is not a complete list of ideas, but gives a starting point if you are struggling with time management and grading homework.  1. 5 Minute Time Limit ⏰ Post the answers only up on the board and give students a few minutes (2-3) to check their answers. Then...
