This year I am trying to help bridge the middle school/high school gap in the Maths department. It always seems crazy to me when sections of a school are on the same campus and do not talk. In fact they often have no idea what the other is doing, this is crazy. Often all three campuses (primary, middle and secondary) run totally different curriculum and programs without ever seeing how the other section does it. It is no different here, but I am going to change this, one it is the right thing to do and two I miss the high school!
So to do this I thought the best way to start was with a Maths Geeks dinner. So we geeked it out at mine, over a Mexican and banana bread. You may wonder why only middle and high school are represented, but most schools do not have primary maths specialists, which in itself is ridiculous (going to have to try and rectify this too, but walk before you can run and all that).
We are going to make a killer Maths department by Christmas or put on a lot of weight trying!
