More Parent Visits

We had several more parents come visit with us in October to talk about how they use math in their careers and everyday lives.

Mr. Till came to talk with us about his job at BBVA Compass.  The kids had fun role playing different situations that involve math at a bank.

Dr. Falola came to talk with us about how she uses math in her job at UAB.  The kids learned about how math is used to create schedules, to identify patients, to calculate the dosage of medications, and to determine the health of patients.

Mrs. Santiago talked with Mrs. Ekonen's homeroom about how she uses math as a Physician's Assistant.  She showed us how to calculate our heart rates, and she answered our many questions about surgery!

 Coach Bromley also came to talk to Mrs. Ekonen's homeroom about how he uses math as a football coach and PE coach.  The kids learned all about percentages and how they help him coach football.

 Mr. Shipman talked to us about how he uses math as a pharmaceutical sales representative.  The kids were impressed with the different charts and graphs that he uses to help analyze his sales.
