Grass Range’s new math teacher, Mitch Thompson, is having fun.
It’s his goal, he said, for the students to have a good time, too.
That’s easier said than done, as math isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of a good time. However, Thompson is doing his best to keep it interesting, and he does this by trying to shake things up a little.
“I would not say I have a traditional curriculum,” he said. “The students work on problems and I steer them in the right direction as they learn. Most of what they work on has more of a real-world focus. It’s more scenario-based.”
