Welcome!

I am excited about starting this school year with your child!  Your child will be bringing home a lot of information concerning my class.  Please take time to read and sign the papers.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Please sign up for Active Parent so you may view your child's grades throughout the semester.  You can do this in the counselor's office.  I update grades throughout the week. 

Please take a look at the attachments to this page.  I've attached the assignment guide for the first term.  I've also attached some printable graph paper and the pacing guide for the course.   

 I stay after school on Thursday afternoons and every other Tuesday afternoon until 4:30 for extra help. 

Feel free to contact me anytime you have questions or concerns.  I check my email daily, whitney.necessary@lamarcountyschools.org or you can reach me at 601.264.7232 ext 6139.

Thank you for your support.

Tips for the class

Mathematics has its own vocabulary and language.  This is especially true in Geometry.  Please make sure that your child is studying all vocabulary, postulates, and theorems as we progress.  Each test contains vocabulary (matching).    Here are a few different ways your child could study the terms:  1)  Make flashcards with the terms on one side and a picture/definition on the back. 2)  Rewrite or type the vocabulary words.  3)  Read the definitions aloud.  4) Have a parent or sibling quiz them on the terms.  We all learn differently, so one method may work better for your child than another.
