My Students

My students are typically 11th and 12th graders opting to take PreCalculus as an elective class before graduating high school. My student population is diverse in skill and background. Many times, my students are not the top math students in school, but possess an authentic passion for learning math. Some students take my class as a bridge to college level math and as a refresher course to refine math skills prior to taking college placement exams.

My students have "education swag".

I love them because they are ambitious, confident and ready to conquer the challenges of today. They are thirsty to learn, full of school spirit and pride, active in sports and community, and use their voices for positive power. Each year I am faced with teaching a dynamic set of students and I expect this school year to be no different.

My Project

Think back to High School. Do you recall the introduction of letters in math class. Math was so simple before the letters began appearing in the problems. This is the common complaint of my students, however, by using my whiteboard I can easily show my students how to manipulate equations and solve for the variable values. This visual explanation becomes a bit more critical as the level of difficulty in math increases.

I have seen success in my PreCalculus class, when I am able to project while working through problems as a class and able to incorporate various colors for visual mapping.

In the Spring, when we switched to remote learning, my ability to work through examples was limited by what I could do using MS Word. It led to long wait times and loss of student engagement. The use of an iPad would allow me to write on the tablet as if it were a whiteboard. I could easily change colors, erase and copy, all while presenting my screen to the class. This Virtual Whiteboard would allow me to simulate my in person class environment and increase student engagement.
