Echavarria's Math and Geography Classes
Home

Welcome to my class!   Math Dice

Hello, My name is Ms. Echavarria and I have been teaching at Alta Vista for seven years.  I have taught Math 76, Math 87, and Science.  This coming year I will also be teaching Geography. I have coached girls volleyball, basketball, and track.
 
I received my Bachelor's Degree from College of the Southwest in Carlsbad/Hobbs.  I received my Master's Degree from Eastern New Mexico in Portales.

Please feel free to contact me any time for any assistance.

6th grade will be a big adjustment for your child.  I ask that you work with your child in getting organized for the first six weeks.  Working together we can help your child to feel comfortable in middle school and help the transition become easier.

In the News

Here I might mention a story in the news that pertains to my subject and solicit opinions from the class. Or I might ask a question about material we covered in class, for example:

This week we read a great short story. If you could be any of the characters in this story, which would you be and why?

I'll post the answers on the "Class Bulletin Board" page.

Meet the Challenge!

Here, I might put a weekly brain teaser, for example:

Three less than 4 times a number is greater than 4 times the sum of the number and 1. Find all such numbers.

Last week's answer: 4
Last week's winner: Brad
