With a laundry list of physical and orthopedic ailments that manifested due to chronic stress, I found myself buried under financial bills and exhaustion. Determined to make my teaching life easier and enhance student understanding from the get-go, I spent hundreds of hours carefully crafting scaffolded lessons and worksheets. Colleagues often praised my materials, sparking an idea: how can I share my knack for simplifying math concepts to help other overwhelmed teachers? This question would ignite a spark as I would rediscover my purpose through entrepreneurship.

Hi 🙂  I’m Daniela Maddaloni. I help high school math teachers who struggle with creating scaffolded lessons by sharing my step-by-step plans and worksheets that break down content for all types of learners. Check out my *FREE* 10-page Algebra 2 pretest with answers here!

Drawing from post-COVID research from 87 high school math teachers, I’ve carefully developed 9 to 11-page pretests for Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus and Probability & Statistics. These pretests form the bedrock of my self-paced courses, guiding students through structured learning. Each module includes Warm Ups, Exit Slips, homework, and quizzes to ensure engagement, accountability, and deeper understanding.

Understanding Individual Learning Styles

Recognizing that every student learns differently, I make it a priority to identify each student’s preferred learning style. Whether a student is an auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learner, I adapt my teaching methods accordingly. By catering to diverse learning styles, I ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive academically.

Embracing Teaching Diversity

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to teaching. Every teacher brings their own unique teaching style to the classroom. I firmly believe that as long as the focus remains on the student’s learning and growth, any teaching method can be effective. Each teacher’s individuality enriches the educational experience and contributes to a dynamic learning environment.

My Services

I hope to inspire a love of learning and empower individuals to reach their full potential, one lesson at a time.

Common-Core Aligned Lesson Plans with Step by Step Keys

Every student deserves access to high-quality, standards-aligned instruction. I strive to empower educators with comprehensive resources that not only meet the rigorous demands of the Common Core standards, but also provide clear, accessible guidance for implementation. My step-by-step keys offer detailed instructions, explanations, and answer guides to support teachers
every step of the way.

Scaffolded Worksheets & Packets with Step by Step Keys

My educational philosophy revolves around the belief that effective learning begins with scaffolding – providing students with the support they need to grasp complex concepts gradually. Each worksheet and packet is meticulously crafted to guide students through their learning journey with clarity and confidence.

Self-Paced Math Enrichment Student Programs

Inspired by my post-Covid research from 87 qualified high school math teachers, I have meticulously developed 9 to 11-page preassessments for 6 subjects: Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus, and Probability & Statistics. The comprehensive topics found on these preassessments form the bedrock of my self-paced courses, providing students with a structured framework to learn and master the foundational concepts of each subject.

Each module in my video courses is structured to ensure student engagement and accountability. Through a combination of Warm Ups, Exit Slips, guided notes, homework and quizzes, students are guided to stay on track with their learning journey. These components not only help reinforce key concepts, but they also provide valuable opportunities for self-assessment and reflection, fostering a deeper understanding of the content.
