US Grade 10 - 12
This class is for students that need to review and practice concepts covered on the ACT. Each week students will focus on ACT Math topics. The ACT topics include Pre-Algebra and Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Coordinate Geometry, Plane Geometry and Trigonometry. Knowing each topic and practicing before hand allows a higher score on the ACT. We will also focus on Calculator techniques. We will be using a TI-84 to demonstrate calculator skills. Each week students will learn to use our calculators and work on using formulas we need to improve scores. Topics will be adjusted according to students needs but will overall be the same as the below schedule. I will provide access to some practice ACT tests. Week of August 11 Ratios and Test Introduction, Introductory Calculator use Week of August 18 Interest, Ratio Word Problems and Complex Percent problems Week of August 25 Basic Probability, Statistics, Tables and Charts Week of Sept 1 Equations: Basic and multistep.

I have a Masters of Mathematics and am a licensed secondary math and financial literacy teacher. I also teach a math class for a local university. I love the exploration of math and plan to explore it in all of my classes. I also have a love of real world application and will also be teaching financial literacy courses.
My semester long classes will include plenty of exploration but will also be courses that will allow students to understand and practice concepts. As far as core classes go I teach Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus and Financial Literacy.
I have taught in ages 12 to 18 in a traditional classroom. I have also spent time volunteering and substituting in elementary math classes. I have worked with many students that have math anxiety and look forward to working with your students.
Feel free to request classes. I teach both integrated math as well as algebra, geometry, trignometry and statistics as well as financial literacy. I have received certification through NGPF to teach financial literacy.Reviews
