Welcome!! This page is intended for parents and students of Mr. Mahnesmith's math classes
at Williamsfield High School, Williamsfield, Illinois.
During the course of the year, students in my classes can anticipate a challenging and rewarding
curriculum. We will explore concepts in a variety of ways. Students will have the opportunity to learn by sometimes
working on their own, doing work with a partner, participating in group-work, working on projects, discovery, as well as the
traditional style of lecture.
I look forward to a great year and hope that you do the same. May we endeavor together!
Words of Wisdom
The mind is like a parachute,
it works best when it is open!
Earn all that you may today so
that you may earn more tomorrow!
My Guiding Light To Success
My mission is to prepare the students academically and socially.I
will strive to encourage the students to set goals for themselves and develop the necessary tools to achieve their goals.I will instill in them that learning is a life-long process that integrates and builds
upon the knowledge and interactions of their past.I will continually help the
students develop a sense of self-worth and responsibility.I will create a positive,
caring atmosphere in and out of the classroom.
This is a highly interactive site that allows students to manipulate and discover properties of lines,
conic sections and a multitude of other mathematical objects.
This site contains free math software by Peanut Software. Wingeom is a free program that allows
students to create and discover geometrical properties. It is much like Geometer's Sketchpad.
Problem solving site. Includes "exercises in problem solving" which guide students through the understanding the problem phase and through the steps of the
problem.
