Welcome to 8th Grade Math with
Mr. Danku!
Hi everyone! I’m Mr. Justice Danku, and I’m so excited to be your math teacher this year! I’m originally from Ghana and have been teaching math for over 23 years across different countries and grade levels. I believe math isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about thinking creatively, making connections, and learning skills you’ll use for life.
This page will be your go-to spot for class updates, homework, helpful resources, and announcements. Let’s make this year a journey where we challenge ourselves, support each other, and have fun along the way!
