Wall Of Fame

Did you know you had a famous person in your own school? If you are famous for something related to math come tell me and you can be on my wall of fame too!!!! (Make sure it is different than someone else's.)

* Mrs. Laura Burrell is famous for the RIGHT ANGLE because the L in Laura makes a 90 degree angle.

* Mrs. Laura Burrell is famous for the abbreviation for POUND lb. because those are her initials.

Math RIDDLE...

Can you figure out the math riddle? The answer is at the bottom of my blog.

Why is everyone scared of 7?

About Me...

Mrs. Burrell: I am originally from St. Paul, Minnesota and decided to move down to Florida after I graduated college. I met my husband and wanted to "move back home." During our two year move we had a wonderful baby boy and after freezing in the arctic we moved back to Florida. I have been teaching for 9 years, two of them being a Math Specialist in Minnesota. I can tell you the children in MN really know their negative numbers. We moved back to Florida and built a house and adopted our beautiful baby daughter. Our family is complete! Outside of school my passions are spending time with my family and friends, scrapbooking, and being outdoors.
