I have taught middle school math for over twenty years. I have a masters degree in education from Johns Hopkins University. I love showing students the amazing connections and patterns found in math. And I love encouraging my students to engage and question so that they deeply understand what is going on. We are not just memorizing!

Homework Offered
Learners will be given a multi-page pdf at the beginning of each week to record new information and review what was taught. Homework is optional and may take approximately 45 minutes each week. 
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will provide an informal assessment at the end of our time together. I will provide an assessment, once your student ends camp, within 48 hours.
Grades Offered

We will use the desmos graphing calculator at different times throughout the class.
