Hey 7th graders! I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This is my sixth year at Salem and my 11th year teaching. Before moving to Wake County, I taught for 4 years in Orange County and 1 year in Maryland, my home state. I attended the University of Maryland for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in Middle School Math and Science Education. In December, 2021 I completed my master's degree in Curriculum and Developmental Supervision at NC State. When I was in 6th grade, I hated math. Then, one day in 7th grade, my teacher helped me to see that solving equations was really just like solving puzzles. From then on, math became my favorite subject! I hope to help you learn to love it too. When I'm not teaching, I love to travel, spend time with friends and family, and generally anything outdoors. I am so excited to have you in my class this year, and I can't wait to get to know all of you too!

Many of our live and independent sessions will involve using Desmos for some fun and collaborate activities. Desmos also works as a calculator, so you'll want to bookmark it so you can find it easily.
Chances are that most students have used Khan Academy in some capacity in previous years. We will use Khan Academy primarily as a resource for helpful videos, but Khan Academy can also be an excellent source of practice problems for students who are trying to study
Delta Math is an online resource that provides many practice problems for students to solidify their skills and explore new concepts. This year, students will also find helpful videos for each assigned skill in case they get stuck. Students will have weekly graded assignments in Delta Math.
