This Week In Math

Good morning!

This week in Math we learned how to find the area of a parallelogram (A=b x h) and worked on finding the area of triangles (A= base times height then divided by 2). Some students are still struggling with how to find the area of triangles so I am including a good resource for the students that will explain how we come about finding the area of triangles. They can then practice by working the problems provided. They will get immediate feedback for their answers.

If your student is needing/wanting more practice please let me know as we will be moving on to finding the area of irregular shapes on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Ms. Scheer

I was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri and have lived here most of my life other than leaving to go to college at the University of Missouri-Columbia. My degree from Mizzou is in Business Education, grades 7-12. When I moved back to Springfield I attended Southwest Missouri State University to get certified in Math Education, grades 7-12. Then, during my first two years of teaching I attended night school at Evangel College to get my Middle School Certification. I have since taught all grades 6 through college level. This year will be my 15th year of teaching; my 7th year teaching 6th grade. I have 3 kids of my own, a 7th grade son and daughters in 10th and 11th grade, all who attend Ozark Schools. I am a firm believer in open communication so please contact me any time you have any questions or concerns!

Mrs. Monsanto

I am truly excited for this year and feel honored to be an Ozark Tiger! This is my third year in the district, but my 6th year teaching, all grades 3-6. My husband, Brandon, and I have a little boy, Keaton, who is 2 and keeps us quite busy! We also have a black lab, Ruby, and a ragdoll cat, AnnaBelle. We are both very active people, who enjoy the outdoors, and anything water related- river, lake, pools, you name it. I really enjoy reading, crafting, going for a run, and traveling - When I have the time! I was raised in the area and graduated from Nixa. I received both my undergraduate (Elementary Education) and graduate (Special Reading) degrees from Drury University. I have a true passion for teaching and I can honestly say that I LOVE what I do! Open communication is key, so if you're interested in my schedule (for conference times), please click on my photo and let me know what works best for you!
