Welcome to Middle School math! This year we will journey together through math concepts! I know that some students have anxiety about math, may feel math is not connected to the world in which they live, or just don’t like math. I will be working hard to help them feel confident and less anxious about doing math. We will be connecting math to our lives and relating big picture concepts to the work that we do in math class. We will be reasoning our way through methods and justifying our solutions. We will be testing ideas and forming opinions, developing reasoning, and coming up with explanations. My hope for this year is to have fun while learning math!
