I started by using this resource to help with understanding strip diagrams and used the pages that had the diagrams on them. Once they got a grasp on it, I then used the task cards for the Shopping Spree and gave them the blank page so that they can create the strip diagrams on their own. It was interesting to see how they were able to do well on the same questions, only using the empty strip diagrams, but when it came to them having to create it on their own instead of plugging information it was difficult. This showed me that we needed more practice on it. I like that I was able to use the same resource in multiple ways. Thank you! Will you please create one with division strip diagrams?

In addition to my work in education, I also run a STEM-based Christmas Light Show business. When I'm not creating new math resources or working with teachers, I'm designing and fabricating light shows sequenced to music with my husband and our team. That business came about after our family was featured on ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight. My son attends the University of Texas, Austin and I'm currently soaking up every last minute with my daughter, a high school senior.
