The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.
--Paul Halmos
Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding. --William Paul Thurston
4th and 5th graders have the opportunity to be a part of our math club at Sycamore Creek. We meet approximately twice per month to collaborate and use our thinking and problem solving skills. Please look for information at the beginning of each school year to join.

I am Mrs. Nixon. I am the math enrichment teacher at Sycamore Creek. I am looking forward to another great year! The purpose of my math enrichment class is to enhance students' mathematical understanding and development. My class is designed to help each student build confidence in their mathematical abilities and to have an extra opportunity for "higher level thinking".
I enjoy teaching and seeing the bright smiles on the student's faces when they are having fun with math! I graduated from Virginia Tech in 1993 and James Madison University in December of 1994 with my master's degree. I am married and have 3 children, McKenna, Cam and Brett. I enjoy watching them play sports. I also love to watch the Hokies play football and I love to run everyday! Please contact me at [email protected] with any questions or concerns. |
