Leigha Jordan 8th Grade Math and Math 1 Teacher
Teaching is my passion! My mission is to create an environment where students and teachers are respected, focused and problem solve mathematically. I hope to do this by making math fun and related to real world experiences. In the end, I hope to instill a love of learning and perseverance in all. In my classroom we are a community of learners connecting to utilize opportunities and reaching our potential! I look forward to a magnificent year!!
This math classroom is a THINKING CLASSROOM!
Each and every student will learn to reason and communicate in mathematics. This will be done using real-life problems and group work.
Students will look for patterns, make conjectures and generalizations, ask questions, challenge respectfully, justify their thinking, and learn from those around them.
We are all MATHEMATICIANS!
