Middle School and High School math teacher in North Florida for over 25 years. I teach 8th Grade Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 Honors for High School Credit, and Intensive Math. My current focus is on aligning my class content to Florida's B.E.S.T. standards.
Targeted worksheets based on state standards work best for my students. I focus on Florida's B.E.S.T. standards and common core. Over the last few years, I have been working with students that have attendance issues and big gaps in math foundations. Recording my lessons and posting for my students has been really beneficial. This year I am going to continue growing my video lessons on my YouTube channel in addition to more targeted skill worksheets.
Student focused instructor. Last year half of my Pre-Algebra students scores a 5 out of 5 on Florida's FSA, including two classes of students with severe learning disabilities. In 2022, my school had a 100% pass rate on our state end of year Algebra Exam. That makes 8 out of the last 9 years. :-)

I have a YouTube channel with instructional videos to help students and teachers at https://www.youtube.com/@mr.slopeguy . I am in my last five years in the classroom before retiring and have figured a few things out over the last 26 years of teaching. I have two kids of my own in college that are my pride and joy. :-)
