- graph linear inequalities in one and two variables

I am a licensed mathematics teacher and have thirteen years of classroom experience teaching Pre-Algebra, Algebra and Geometry. My students have consistently experienced exceptional growth in comparison to local, state and national metrics.

Homework with an answer key will be provided with each lesson; it is optional be strongly recommended. I will be available prior to class to answer any questions on homework.

Students will be formatively assessed during each lesson with observation and targeted questioning. Summative assessments and grades will be available upon request.

3 hours per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
