School Begins!

     It is always exciting to begin a new year of school. This year we will be introducing the new Common Core Curriculum. For Algebra students, this means more project based learning and real world application. That means our  focus during the year  will  be to help students  apply the new concepts and ideas practiced in class. Our first project will incorporate the use of food/nutrition labels to explore different  food choices. Students will be charting graphs and using formulas to determine calorie intake and to determine their own healthy weight.
     I look forward to working with your son or daughter this year and I look forward to meeting you at our back to school night in August.
