Hi everyone.
My name is Michael Czudner and it is my distinct pleasure to be teaching secondary (9-12) Mathematics at John McCrae Secondary School. I have been teaching at John McCrae Secondary School from Sept 2017 to the present. I taught at Woodroffe High School from 2002-2009 and LDHSS from 2009-2017. This is my 24th year of teaching with the OCDSB!
This semester (Fall 2025) I will be teaching:
HPAMATH(MHF4U) Room 346 Per 1,
HPAMATH(MPM2D/MCF3M) Room 346 Per 2 and
Last semester (Winter 2025) I was teaching:
HPA(MCR3U) (Period 1 Block A Winter 2025) Room 346
HPA(MDM4U & MPM2D) (Period 2 Block B Winter 2025) Room 346
MCV4U (Period 3 Block C Winter 2025) Room 346
Availability For Extra Help: I am almost always in room 346 every morning around 8:30 am - 8:55 am and then lunch 11: 50 am - 12:30 pm in Room 346 for Extra Help except Wednesdays at lunch where I am in room 346 for Chess Club. Feel free to drop by any of these times and locations. If you need another time feel free to contact me and set up a time for after school. Thanks.
Mathematics is an incredible combination of art and science. In my classes we aim to improve higher order thinking and gain an appreciation of the processes and beauty of math. We engage in collaborative learning and student centred teaching. We have a number of creative and engaging practices that occur on a daily basis. We aim to make math fun and enjoyable for all! My priority is to have students engage in mathematics in a meaningful way that is auditory, visual, and kinestetic. Come and join us and find out just how incredible the world of mathematics can be!
It is also my pleasure to offer a Chess and Strategy Club . We are excited for another amazing year. All are welcome! Please come by room 346 every Wednesday at lunch to discover the amazing world of strategy games. We will develop student's critical thinking skills and ability to reason as they explore a huge variety of engaging and difficult games. We will aim to run one chess tournament a year! Grades 9 -12. We will also explore higher level mathematics and answer the many math questions that students ponder on a regular basis. Ex. Prove (-1)(-1) = 1
Please feel free to navigate this site and find out more about specific courses. I look forward to meeting you someday! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
