Instructor: Amanda Gray
Instructor Bio: Hi! My name is Amanda Gray, and I love math! I am a Mathematics and Science tutor at Tompkins-Cortland Community College as well as a private tutor in the Homer community. I pride myself in my ability to create comfortable and constructive learning environments and am always excited to introduce students to new mathematical concepts and ideas. My goal is to always make the topics I teach as fun as possible, and I’m really looking forward to making this math class a student favorite!
Required Materials: pencil; notebook and folder or looseleaf notebook; graphing calculator (such as this)*
*Graphing calculators are quite expensive. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A DETERRENT TO TAKING THE COURSE. These are available new, used, and for rent. Any graphing calculator should work, but TI-83s and TI-84s are the classic. Additionally, TEEN DAY is working to get some of these donated to loan out. NOTE: The instructor may opt to eliminate the portion of the course that would require them.
