Class overview
Welcome to Coach Moody's AP Calculus class here at John T Hoggard High School! This has the potential to be unlike any other math class you have ever taken for a number of reasons. First and foremost, The Advanced Placement program offers college level math to high school students. Therefore you should expect a solid, fast-paced, intense, and rigorous course where we explore the idea of rates of change. During our first few days together, we evaluate our prerequisite knowledge, our goals and dreams, and decide if you will take Calculus AB or Calculus AB and BC. After that, both courses are taught simultaneously, in the same classroom at the same time! We will strive to develop a true learning community within the classroom as we tackle this incredibly challenging and rewarding class!
About me
I have been teaching math for seight and a half years now, this is the start of year six at Hoggard for me. In those five short years I already bleed navy blue! I have done a little bit of everything in my professional career from teaching, managing a jewelry store, CAD draftsman, and even working for a NASCAR team.
During my time teaching mathematics, I have taught everything from Math 1, 2, and 3, AP Calculus, and Geometry in Construction!
I also serve as Hoggard's Defensive Line Coach, I am the adviser for our National Honor's Society, co-Sponsor for our Beta Club, and work several of our other athletic events on campus. You can always find me here at school supporting our amazing students!
