Welcome to another resource option. Hopefully these pages, as well as the ones located on the school's website will make your tenure in class a bit more enjoyable.
The Teacher
Currently teaching Algebra 1 and College Algebra, I do enjoy teaching Pre-Calculus and Algebra 2. In my 19th year teaching (17 with JCPS; 15 here at duPont Manual) I made the switch to teaching mathematics after teaching programming to students in the MST magnet.
While the topics are considered different--it is all problem solving. So, if you ever put jigsaw puzzles together, played with leggos, or some type of activity where things had to come together to "fit" then you have the basis of mathematics. (Sounds simple...and it can be!)
I enjoy that moment when students make sense of it all. Okay, perhaps you don't believe it, but it is true. I am one of those math geeks; trying to get everyone to, if not become one themselves, at least make the connection from the classroom to the "real world".
Tutoring...
Regardless of who your math teacher of record may be, I am available after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you need assistance. It helps if you come with problems you cannot work so we have something to focus on; coming in with a "I just don't get it" doesn't help me help you.
