MasterMathMentor

Welcome to MasterMathMentor

I am a retired teacher of mathematics, having taught at Wissahickon High School in Ambler, Pa for 35 years. I taught Advanced Placement Calculus and AP Statistics at Wissahickon as well as prospective teachers on preparing for the Mathematics Praxis Test for the Philadelphia School District. I taught part-time at Abington Friends School in Jenkintown, Pa., Acadia University, Montgomery County Community College, and Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia, (Calculus and Statistics) as well as Broward College in Pompano Beach, Florida, and have had three books published by REA, one on preparing for the AP Calculus exam.

Plain and simple, I love math and transferring that love and enthusiasm to students and teachers is what makes me tick. That's why MasterMathMentor was created in 2007 and has been a source for math educators to obtain free lesson plans, exams, and games ever since. And even though I am retired from everyday teaching, I have no plans to stop!

What's New at MMM

AP Precalculus Manual
The College Board is instituting a new AP Precalculus course in the fall of 2023. This course is meant to prepare students for the rigors of Calculus in college. The MMM manual is a full course that mirrors the framework of the new course. Teachers can use it to completely teach the course with ready-made lesson plans complete with classwork and homework. The student version is FREE.

Math Wars

This is a fine way for teachers to review a concept, taking very little time, and giving students a little competition as well as a chance to use their cell phone in class. The student version and phone app are completely FREE.

Slip-Sliding Away
Should baseball players slide into first-base rather than running straight through? That question is answered using AB Calculus. A neat little study that includes a sample AP free-response question based on this problem. Free.
