Mission For The Class

Throughout the course of the year, it is my mission to make sure that students
learn to appreciate the subject of math.  Students will become great thinkers,
and will understand the 'why' & 'how' of each concept.  They will learn to
discuss strategies and solutions with their peers in the classroom, and be 
able to justify their answers with logical reasoning.
