Jared Squire

2020 - 2021 School Year

Introduction:

Hi. This is Mr. Squire. I am teaching the following classes this year: Applied Secondary Math, Mathematical Decision Making For Life, Secondary Math 1 and 2, and PreCalculus. I have been at Spectrum for 2 years. I have taught Science and Math. I am great at helping students understand math.

In addition to teaching math, I love hiking, visiting national parks, looking at the stars, planets, and other astronomical objects. I have always enjoyed and had an interest in the weather.

Philosophy on Math

Everyone can learn and make progress on their math. One of the most important things that I can do as a math teacher is to help instill the belief in students that they can be successful in math. I believe in the Growth Mindset. Everyone can improve in their ability by believing in themselves and working hard. Everyone learns in different ways. We will try a variety of approaches to help students learn. We will be using Aleks (An online math program) as part of the work that we do. This will be used as a tool to help student master various mathematical topics. I will be both instructing students and helping students here at school in an effort for them to grasp the concepts. For those students who are doing things Online during the Pandemic, I will be a source of help for you also. Please communicate with me on any problems or issues that you are having. I would also be glad to help you on your work.
