Mary Jane Timmens

I am a Secondary Math Teacher. My focus is filling in the blanks in my students' Math education. I want to focus on learning what they understand and helping them make sense of the rest. In order for my students to be excited about learning in the world of Math, I believe that they must see the possibilities in the world of Math and how it effects their daily lives. I will use Technology both here on this website and in the classroom. I want to expose my students to the amazing world of Mathematics, as well as provide them with fun ways of learning and tools that will help them understand what they are learning more clearly. We will also be doing projects that will connect what we are learning in the classroom with practical applications. There are so many amazing and helpful tools available to us, I want my students to use as many as possible.

Teaching has been my goal all of my life. I have taken years to prepare for this career. I wanted to be sure that I was prepared to teach before I walked into the classroom. I understand the importance of the education of every student I will come in contact with. I have a degree in Mathematics as well as a Teaching License. I have also worked in Treatment Facilities with at risk youth who have behavioral and psychological issues. The education I have received and the experience I have gained from my job, have prepared me for the educational and disciplinary challenges that I will be faced with. I am commited to teaching students to push themselves to excellence.
