Welcome to Mrs.Tepavchevich’s math page. I teach all of the eighth grade math, algebra, and health classes.
The eighth grade math class main focus is pre-algebra skills to
prepare for the high school curriculum of algebra, geometry, and
algebra trigonometry. Students
are expected to come to class prepared to work.
They receive homework every night to allow them to practice the
skills taught in class. Constant
maintenance and review is provided throughout the year in order to help
students remember skills learned in previous years as well as those
concepts taught at different times throughout their eighth grade year.
The algebra class is taught using the same textbook that is used
at Hinsdale South High School. The
concepts taught are those that are taught in the algebra classes at the
high school. At the end of the school year students in this class take an
algebra proficiency test at the high school to prove their competence
and knowledge of algebra. Students
in this class, who pass the algebra test, will take geometry their
freshman year at the high school. It has always been my goal to expand children’s knowledge of math concepts and to help my student’s see the relevance and usefulness of their math knowledge to real life skills

The
eighth grade health curriculum includes self awareness, decision making
skills, friend and family relationship skills, and knowledge of sexually
transmitted diseases with an emphasis on abstinence. During the
quarter many guests speak to the students, among them representatives
from Downers Township, Project AWARE, and a DARE officer. Students
also take a field trip to the Robert Crown Center to hear a presentation
on HIV/AIDS. Adolescents find themselves facing many life altering
situations. It is my hope that health class will provide factual
information, and answers to their questions, in a comfortable
environment, so that they will make good decisions.
