My name is Nick Hershman. This is my 5th 6th year teaching. I live in Portland, OR where I like to eat pizza. I’ve taught in South America and Brooklyn before that. I’m currently teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry to 7th and 8th graders.

Thank you for sharing!!!! I believe in that also. I created a website to interact with math teachers and share all of my materials that I worked so hard to create, I refuse to give anything to my students hand written. Now my materials may not be as good as yours, but you can check out my website for materials for Algebra I, II and Probability and Statistics. I have other stuff there.
Thanks for sharing!!

Meike, thanks for the link, I like your geoboard slope activity/walk.
I was just reading your blog and thought you may be interested in checking out a new math resource that my nonprofit organization, Facing the Future, has just released.
Real World Math: Engaging Students through Global Issues is a supplementary math text that puts math in an interesting context that relates to students’ lives. The teacher’s guide and corresponding student workbook contain 15 lessons that engage students in learning foundational algebra and geometry through real-world data on global issues such as climate change, population, and financial literacy.
Each lesson in the teacher’s guide includes:
• A complete lesson plan including an activity based ‘hook’ to engage students
• Masters for student lesson handouts
• Masters for practice worksheets
All lessons were inspired, researched, designed, reviewed, and pilot tested by educators in the field.
You can read more about this resource and download sample lessons on our website. If you would like to receive a review a complementary copy of the teacher’s guide, please send me your mailing address.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about this resource or our organization in general.
