About Me

My name is Carol Blatchley and I have been teaching for 20 years. This year I am thrilled to be returning to Bell Oaks as the Math Coach for grades 5 to 8.

I attended Villanova University where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and later attended Rowan University for two years to earn a teaching certificate to be highly qualified as a teacher of mathematics.

My husband and I are blessed to have 3 children and two grandchildren who make our lives hectic, full, and very happy. We love spending time at their sporting events and any time we have the chance to get together as a family.

My favorite place to be aside from with my family is at the Jersey shore with my toes in the sand at the beach listening to the waves of the ocean.

I believe that for our math students to be successful, we need to build mathematical thinkers as we take a step back from telling our students how to do math, and instead, guide them to think about, model, talk about, discover, and make sense of math.
