Mr. Polacek-Room 73
Background
I am excited to be starting my 2nd year at St. Vincent DePaul. I am a life long educator and have been teaching all levels of math for the past 35 years. I graduated from University of Nebraska Wesleyan with a bachelor's degree in mathematics, then continued my education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and received a master's in mathematics. The last several years I have spent teaching in Millard Public schools at Millard South High School and Beadle Middle School.
Pre-Algebra - This is a course designed to prepare students for more advanced courses in algebra and geometry. Integer and real number operations, functions, graphing, inequalities and problem solving strategies are emphasized. Sadlier Foundations of Algebra is the textbook we will be using.
