Mathematics



The Math Department at Sollers Point is small in number, but large in their love for Mathematics!   Our teachers provide a highly rigorous learning experience for their students. The Math program at Sollers encompasses Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus, the core courses that make up the BCPS Math curriculum.

At Sollers, we believe Math should be authentic, challenging, and fun!  Each class provides a variety of learning experiences that relate Math to our students’ lives, provides opportunities for both collaboration and independent study, and builds life-long Math learners.

INSTRUCTORS

 

Mike Maiste, Department Chair, Mathematics Teacher

I have taught Math at 4 levels of education: elementary, middle, high, and university. My favorite part of teaching is helping students explore Math concepts and discover the beauty of Math. I am always looking for that “aha! moment” from my students. I strive to provide an enjoyable yet challenging learning experience for my students.  I hope that all of my students grow to enjoy Math the way I do!

 

Seibert

Laurie Seibert, National Board Certified, Mathematics Teacher

I love teaching mathematics! I have earned National Board Certification as a mathematics teacher, the "Gold Standard" in teacher certification. I enjoy having conversations with students, colleagues, and parents about how they see mathematics: patterns, problem solving, and puzzles. Sollers is a school that allows students to showcase their interests and I’m so happy to be working here!

Micheal Ayres, Mathematics Teacher

My teaching philosophy is that every student deserves to get as much help as they want. I love Sollers because the small class sizes and plentiful support personnel mean that, that is a possibility.

Logan Call, Mathematics Teacher

I love working with the bright students of Sollers Point to help them be the best version of themselves. One of my main goals is to lead students towards seeing the value of mathematical thinking in their everyday lives.
