Spring Math+ 2021 - Tampa, FL

Instructor: Peggy Martin

Level: Middle School (6th-8th)

Peggy Martin has over 25 years of high school math teaching experience. She taught for 13 years at Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, MO and since 2013, she has been teaching at Jesuit High School in Tampa, FL. Also since 2013, she has taught the summer Fast-Track math courses (Geometry, Trigonometry and Precalculus) for the Arrupe Virtual Learning Institute. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH and her Juris Doctorate from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS. She practiced law for a few years but quickly realized she missed teaching math and has been living the dream doing what she loves ever since returning to the world of mathematics.

This Spring, the Math+ program will be focused on the concept of Infinity. Infinity can be defined as “something without any limit”. The concept has applications across disciplines but is particularly critical in mathematics where the concept has been at the center of the field since 1655 when John Wallis, a leading mathematician, defined its mathematical symbol.
