Have also taught history, government, geography! Sponsored National Junior Honor Society. Eighth grade team leader for 10 years. Middle School Math Curriculum Coordinator; competition coordinator.

Teaching style

I prefer for students to work in pairs. Students have a warm up activity and a review of concepts taught in the unit so far, then are taught a lesson and work in pairs to solve the day's problems. Each student is responsible for a math notebook containing vocabulary, examples, formulas, drawings, definitions. Homework is typically a review and practice assignment to be completed within a couple of days. Students have my home phone number, and can receive tutoring before or after school.
