Course Expectations
In this course, we will be exploring various mathematical concepts to become better thinkers and problem solvers. You will be held to high expectations both academically and behaviorally. Strive toward reaching your goals - incomplete work, poor attitude, and other non-productive behaviors will detract from what you should hope to achieve.
If a student is struggling, they should contact me so we may work on a plan for success. Students are also encouraged to keep their parents/guardians apprised of any difficulties in this course.
The agenda for this course will be updated on this website every Sunday evening. This will include assignments as well as quiz and test dates.
My Philosophy
In my classroom, the attitude that I wish to promote is one of positivity, optimism, and the idea that all students have something to offer and are often more capable than they realize when it comes to Mathematics. In my many years of teaching, I have been inspired by students coming up with great ideas when others may have discounted them. I have also been impressed by the number of students who have given me a view to a topic that I hadn't considered.
As your teacher, I pledge to NEVER embarrass or belittle a student. My role as a teacher has been informed by my own positive and negative experiences, from my kindergarten year all the way through university. Please know that my desire is for all to succeed and that any academic or behavioral expectations I have come from a place of good intent and sincerity.
