Swimming in Scatter Plots: Bivariate Data and Lines of Fit
How have Olympic swimming speeds changed over time? Are male and female swimmers getting faster at the same rate? Is a linear model a reasonable way to predict how fast future gold medalists will swim the 100-meter freestyle? In "Swimming in Scatter Plots," students will construct and analyze scatter plots using 100 years of Olympic swimming data.

Teaching style
I ask "Why?" a lot. Almost constantly. I want students to understand the reasoning behind the math they learn, to make sense of it themselves whenever possible, and to bring the math to life in a variety of contexts. I tell my students they are too quiet sometimes - I love collaboration and get really excited when I hear kids having a rich math argument. I also enjoy helping kids improve their number sense and mental math, to become more efficient and confident mathematicians.
My own education history
I have a Master's degree in Middle School Education with a math focus. I have also taken multiple courses in special education. Prior to life in teaching, I studied linguistics, French, German, and dance.
