Welcome

to Mrs. Talmage’s website!

Mathematics are critical to the success of student’s future pursuits. Encouraging an exploratory approach to mathematics can create a healthy mathematical curiosity, and a positive learning experience despite challenging curriculum. I encourage the use of solitary, partner and group work for a well-balanced classroom. Communication between Parent, Student and Teacher is essential for student success. I encourage you to participate by monitoring your student’s progress and asking them to share their learning with you.

My Expectations: Students should come prepared to work hard each day! Our time together is precious, and we do not want to waste one moment. I expect students to be respectful to themselves, their peers, my classroom and myself while they are with me. Since there will be days we work in cooperative groups, students should be willing to listen, assist and engage with their peers to discover and extrapolate their own understanding of the concept chosen each day.
