Middle School Math

TEACHING MATH: Kara Ross 

Hi, I am Kara Ross, the Middle School Math Teacher here at Pine Strawberry School. GCU is where I chose to study elementary education. I have also taken an extra test to become highly qualified in the area of teaching mathematics. 

I have been teaching full time for about 5 years….the past 4 years I have been at the middle school in Payson. Before I started teaching full-time, I was also a Paraprofessional for 3 years. Having both experiences, I try to have a classroom that provides an atmosphere that sets all students up for success.

There is such power in a strong Math Foundation.  I emphasize this daily to your children. I also highly recommend IXL (district provided web program) lessons posted regularly to help provide more practice with the Math concepts for students to learn them well or realize they need more help.

I LOVE Math and teaching Math.  My dream is that I can instill some of that passion in your children….or at least a like or appreciation for Math.

In my free time I like spending time with family, usually at ropings or barrel races. You will likely see me at many of the sports games as well since volleyball is another passion of mine. I like my students to feel supported not only in the classroom, but in all the things that matter to them!
