The
2006-2007 MATRIX Team lines up with all of MacKinnon's math teachers. Michelle Freeman continues
on the team as a seventh grade math teacher. Betsy Riordan teams up
with three sections of this year’s sixth graders. Our bilingual students
are led through the MATRIX by their instructor, Karen Vaughan. This year Tim
McGrail is instructing one section of grade six mathematics and one section of grade seven mathematics. Colleen Silvestri
and Amy Laudati continue as the MacKinnon MATRIX Team special needs instructors. Both teachers instruct students
in the Resource Room as well as through in-class support. Eighth grade math
teachers, Ann Marie Cunha and Carol Pillsbury, continue to lead the upper classmen through their tech-enriched mathematics
lessons as they prepare for the March GEPA testing. Mrs. Cunha and Mrs. Pillsbury are also class advisors to this year's
eighth graders. Likewise, Mrs. Riordan and Ms. Silvestri advise at the sixth grade level.
We
have a strong, knowledgeable team of veteran teachers and we look forward to another successful year of technology-enriched
mathematics education.
