I realize that math can be a struggle for some students.  Math is my passion-my very favorite subject to teach.  But, this was not always the case.  I struggled in math until I had a teacher that took the time to help me build a solid math foundation.  Once I had this solid foundation, I began to see math in a new light and discovered that I truly love it. I want to help my students light this passion for math in their school career. This class is designed to be a fun and interactive class with lots of class participation.  The more the student is engaged, the more they are learning.  I try to keep the students unmuted so they can easily ask questions or answer problems, but sometimes I do need to mute the class so we can call focus.
