hi, My name is Denise and I am a High School Math teacher. I teach Geometry and Pre-Calculus and love teaching both. I have been teaching for the past 16 years. This is a second career for me, I was a computer analyst working in assembly language for 6 year until I decided I wanted to stay home with my kids for some time. I went back to school to get my teaching certificate from Glassboro College. I finished my student teaching in 1993 and taught in middle school for 4 years until I got a high school job.

I have a son and a daughter. My son is 23 and my daughter just turned 21.

I am teaching a unit on polygon, interior angle sum, exterior angle sum etc. I am going to implement new technology using the illumination website. I am going to sign up for the COW and have students working in pairs to find the rule for the interior angle sum and exterior angle sum.

1 BIG idea to implement “on Monday” - When teaching nets - use the illumination website that allows students to click on the ones that will make a cube. =====

**Objectives:** Students will be able to: 1) Develop and apply strategies and formulas for finding the surface area and volume of a three-dimensional figure. Volume - prism, cone, pyramid, cylinder   Surface area - prism (triangular or rectangular base),    pyramid (triangular or rectangular base)   2) Draw a net of a given three-dimensional figure. Students will do the investigation on nets, surface are and volume. Two forms of assessments will be given. 1. The standard paper and pencil test. 2. Students will be given the option using the following website. http://www.brainingcamp.com/resources/math/surface-area/index.html When students are finished they will wait for me to check their answers using the submit button. They are also required to write their answers down on the given piece of paper for verification later.
