Mrs. Beth Hank

Welcome to Mrs. Hank's page. I look forward to working with you to develop skills in mathematics as well as general critical thinking and problem-solving skills. For many, math is not a favorite subject, I pray we can work together to learn and grow in this area to do all to the glory of God.

Classes Taught: Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, GTA3 (Advanced Math), Calculus, Yearbook

Algebra 1 helps the student begin to develop the ability to think logically and abstractly, covering a wide range of topics such as area and volume, two-step equation solving, systems of equations, probability and statistics, graphing, square roots, distance, and various word problems.

Geometry develops relationships involving points, lines, and planes by studying concepts including area and volume, parallel lines, reasoning, transformations, constructions, similar triangles, proofs, and right triangle trigonometry.

Algebra 2 expands on concepts taught in Algebra 1 covering topics of graphing, systems of three equations, abstract equations, word problems, vectors, trigonometry, and the quadratic formula.

PreCalculus is a broad range class covering Geometry, Trigonometry, and Algebra 3. This class stretches students with a wide variety of topics including matrices, proofs, difficult word problems, abstract thinking, trigonometric relations and graphing, conic sections, probability, and quadratic roots.

Calculus introduces students to a whole new study in mathematics. This course is a great introduction for students planning to pursue further studies in math or science. Topics covered are limits, functions, trigonometry, continuity, area under a curve, derivatives, and integrals.

Grades are calculated based on: 40% test average, 25% homework average, and 35% quiz average.
