My students are amazing scholars in an urban community. The classes range from honors to co-taught. We have a very diverse population of learners who have different needs to make them successful. We have a large population of students who receive free or reduced price lunch and low income housing. Even though my students come from different backgrounds, they are all capable of success! All of my students love the universal language of math and are in need of different experiences but resources are limited. My students are looking for new opportunities to make math more interesting and fun.
