    Hello! My name is Mrs. Shumaker and I teach Grade 8 Math, Algebra, and Geometry. I encourage an open classroom, inquisitive atmosphere, and peer tutoring. I believe that every student has the potential to be successful in Math with the right encouragement and guidance, and I strive to provide exactly that in my classroom every day.

    If you find yourself struggling understanding a lesson or completing your homework, visit YouTube and search for the lesson you need help with - there are videos of nearly every lesson available for you to watch for further understanding or to re-explain!
