Hello!
I am Mr. Barry Wimmer, Math Teacher for the Mingus Marauders. I have been teaching mathematics for some time. I hold a B.S. in Mathematics with Secondary Education preparation from Grand Valley State University (GVSU) in Allendale, MI. I was born in Manitowoc, WI, and raised in Charlevoix, MI. I am fully certified in secondary math. I also hold an M.S. in Mathematics from NAU where I was a Graduate Teacher Assistant.
I am excited to be teaching only Geometry this year so that I can focus on the needs of the students. I believe a solid foundation in high school math can open many post-secondary opportunities for students. It is my goal to provide a rigorous curriculum with the necessary support to allow all students to succeed to their utmost potential! I am here to serve the students and school community, so feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Some over-arching goals in Math that I have for all students include:
Develop an appreciation for mathematics
Become a confident problem-solver
Be comfortable speaking mathematics with others
Be confident to present math problem/project to class
Know what technology is available and how to use it wisely to enhance understanding
Some over-arching goals that I have for all students include:
Strive for excellence in all that you do
Know when, where and how to seek help when needed
Take pride in all that you do
Share your knowledge and skills with others
Use your skills and knowledge to contribute to your community
