2. Melena Howe
GEOMETRY TEACHER
Do you have any tips or tricks for students to be successful in math?
My suggestion for students to be successful in math, is to make
sure you attend class, turn in all of your homework, don't let
yourself fall behind, and attend office hours when confused. If a
student does those things they will be successful in my class. For
that matter, if they do those things for all of their classes, they will
probably be successful in everything.
Do you have a favorite math website for students?
www.purplemath.com has a lot of great information.
When are your office hours for math?
My office hours are from 10:00-11:30 on Fridays.
Do you offer math tutoring sessions? If so, when?
I do not offer extra math tutoring sessions, but my office hour
time is a time when a lot of students come in to get extra help.
