This 2023-2024 school year, I am teaching special-day geometry 10AB. My students have come a long way this year! Many who have proclaimed their passionate hatred for math have now come to terms with it in my class. Some have actually said that they like it, and others have said that they like it because I make them laugh. (The kids who said that are definitely going to pass.) They've all had negative experiences, failing grades, and anxieties in their past math classes, but I've started seeing a spark of interest and desire to learn more about this complicated subject with me. They're amazing students who truly want to be challenged. I just want to make that process engaging and fun. Please help me make that possible by checking out my current projects!
