Class Overview
Math is a powerful tool for global understanding and communication. Using it, students can make sense of the world and solve complex and real problems. Rethinking math in a global context offers students a twist on the typical content that makes the math itself more applicable and meaningful for students. For students to function in a global context, math content needs to help them get to an all-inclusive competence, which is understanding different perspectives and world conditions, recognizing that issues are interconnected across the globe, as well as communicating and acting in appropriate ways.
About me
Welcome to Mrs. Locke’s math class! I am so excited to be teaching you here at Winston Churchill Middle School and I’m looking forward to learning more about you! I have lived in Sacramento most of my life and my sister went this this middle school. I went to San Juan High School in Citrus Heights and Mrs. Jerue was my math teacher (weird)! I earned my degree at Sac State and I met my husband in the teaching credential program. My goal this year is to spend more time with my family and relaxing. I try to spend most of my free time when I am not supporting my students by playing with my 2 Boston Terriers Chico and Leeloo. I am a huge Disney nut and love all things Disney!!! For those of you who know me, I am on campus quite a bit and am always helping students.
How to be successful in math...
~Do your assignments the day they are assigned.
~Review missed problems from the previous assignments.
~Do your assignments “to learn” not just “to get it done”.
~Take the review seriously.
~If you have questions ASK!!!
~Review previous quizzes/tests.
~If you keep getting the same kind of questions incorrect, go back a redo a couple of problems from that section.
