What will my child learn?
Your child will cover specific types of angles and segments, triangles and other shapes along with parallel and perpendicular lines. The first semester will also provide an introduction to proofs and logic and the second semester will focus heavily on right triangles, introduction to trigonometry, special types of triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, prisms and pyramids and cones perimeter, area, volume and surface area. We will also talk about ways to use geometry in the field when involved with construction. Geometry is very different from the other maths as it involves much more spatial thinking rather than sequential thinking.
More importantly than math, your child will learn perseverance, and courage to ask questions, humility to learn when things don’t come easily, grace for others when it comes easily for them, discipline to work daily, initiative to learn at deeper levels, and the understanding that GOD has a plan for their lives.
What can I expect from the course?
Parents can expect that homework will be assigned almost every day and the course will be designed in order to help students prepare for college. Homework will be graded in class with opportunities for students to ask questions. Mr. Warren will administer and grade 3-5 exams per semester. The course meets once weekly for 1.5 hrs each time for 16 weeks in Fall and 16 weeks in the Spring.
Parents will be expected to log into their child’s JupiterEd online gradebook to monitor the assignments and grades and communicate with Mr. Warren any observations and concerns about their child.
What are the costs & supplies?
There is a Fall and Spring Supply Fee of $60 each semester which is due the 1st week of each semester. This includes the rental of the textbook along with the copies of the handouts and tests along with the infrastructure of the classroom and the website.
The monthly teacher fee is $60 due the 1st week of each month (4 payments in the Fall and 4 payments in the Spring). Late fees are $25. Payments may be made by check or cash.
There is a sibling or 2nd class discount of $10 per month on the 2nd child’s fees(or any additional siblings after the first child’s class)
A graphing calculator or calculator with trigonometric functions is required. If planning to take future courses an investment in the TI-84 plus CE calculator will carry the student through high school and college courses.
When is the course offered?
- Classes begin August 17, 2021
- Tuesdays 10:30-11:50am
I struggled for years trying to truly understand math. I finally found what works for me in Mr. Warren’s math class. He takes time explaining math to you in simple and plain terms anyone could understand. He guides you through the difficult world of math.

Where Can My Student Receive Additional Help?
Mr. Warren also provides additional help during his Tuesday free tutoring session from 8:30-9:30pm. If you login after 8:30, please text so I can admit you. This is on a first come first serve basis for his enrolled math students only. Students may also contact him via text during the week to see if they are on the right track with their work.
While math has never been my favorite subject, I actually look forward to Mr. Warren’s math classes. His clear teaching and ongoing support has helped me achieve a much better understanding of Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II. Not only does Mr. Warren help us become better students, but he helps us become better individuals. I am so grateful to have such an awesome teacher.
