Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to Williams' Wonderful World of Mathematics and thank you for visiting my site. I am very happy to have you (or your child) in my class and look forward to a very successful school year. I want to be certain that every child will be in a safe and secure environment. Keeping within the rules and regulations that I have set will insure that kind of environment. It is my goal for every student to feel comfortable in asking questions and participating without feeling anxious in front of his/her classmates. You can find more information in my syllabus; this was sent home with students the first week of school. If he/she joined me later, it was given upon entering class.
One of the best tools teachers at Cordova High School have is Teacher Ease. Students and parents can view the most updated grades at their convenience. Not only do I post scores as I grade assignments and assessments, but I also send announcements on a regular basis through the site. I try to keep parents abreast of what is happening in the classroom. This includes academics, as well as conduct. Use this calendar link for exact dates of scheduled meetings, distribution of progress reports and reports cards, and school events.
Students are required to complete 90 minutes (per week) at Stanford Math. In completing the 90 minutes, students will earn 50 points as a quiz grade on a weekly basis. Click here to get to the Stanford Math page with complete instructions.
I found this site and was so excited about it that I had to share it with you. Math TV is a web site with video tutorial sessions on specific concepts and skills. There are four or five different instructors for each concept and one who conducts the tutorial in Spanish. You can also find the solutions to homework problems using Hothmath. Click here or go to your study guide (see the toolbar above); you will find the instructions on how to successfully access this site. And, this page, ACT Formulas, will definitely assist those who are studying for college entrance exams. One of my colleagues was gracious enough to give it to me, so I am sharing it will all of you.
Feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions that you may have. You can email me at williamssheilam@mcsk12.net, or phone me at school, (901)416-4540, extension 24289.
"Academic excellence is our first priority."
