Welcome to Year Seven ISF Maths

I am excited about teaching Year Seven Maths at ISF this year.

Here is a little information about me. I have taught Maths for 26 years, in the US, Italy, Portugal and now Hong Kong. I think Maths is a very useful subject. I believe in teaching my students how the maths we are studying are used in real life - so we will be investigating as many real-world applications as possible this year.

I will use this blog to post homework assignments, answer questions and present requested solutions. I will be posting (and I ask that you post as well) maths notes on our wiki at: mathnotesinternational.pbworks.com

Please post a comment with your own brief biography so we can get to know each other better.

I am looking forward to a very successful year!
