Emily Toffenetti
​Emily has been teaching secondary mathematics off-and-on since 2002 and has taught in various settings that include public, Christian, and Department of Defense schools. She has lived overseas and in a variety of places throughout Virginia, and is eager to call Virginia Beach home again! She’s looking forward to beginning her homeschooling & co-opping journey with her son, who just turned 5 and is entering Kindergarten. She’s also excited to be close to her alma maters Regent, where she earned her Masters in Education, and Virginia Tech, where she earned her Bachelors in Mathematics. She’s hoping to not only get deeply involved with her son’s & math students’ educations this fall, but also catch a few VT football games on the weekends - Go Hokies! When she's not involved in school stuff & cheering on the Hokies, Emily enjoys spending time with her family at church events and outdoors… usually checking out new playgrounds. Emily is thrilled to get involved with Global Christian Co-op, because it is the exact balance of faith, family, and education that she has been praying for.

Middle School Math
Course Description: Students will explore math in the following areas: numbers, geometry, measurement, algebra, and probability. Students will grow in their understanding of the relationship between numbers and the world. Topics include: irrational numbers, scientific notation, volume and surface area. Students will be learning to construct angles and segments using a straightedge and compass. They will study different transformations and practice finding similar figures. Students will learn the concept of variables and algebraic expressions. They will solve one- and two-step equations. Finally, they will explore probability and variation creating, analyzing and visualizing data sets.
​
​​
Pre-Algebra
Course Description: Students will use texts, videos and online interactives to explore the world of algebra. Students will engage in problem solving, graphing, quizzes and projects. Students will apply transformations to two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures and observe geometric properties. They will use algebraic expressions, equations, or inequalities in one variable to represent and evaluate a given situation. They will apply basic concepts of set theory and also determine subsets, complements, intersection, and union of sets. Students will utilize equations, tables and graphs to analyze and interpret linear functions and make inferences from statistical data.
​
​
Algebra I
Course Description: Students will engage in real world and hands-on problem solving while using their developing skills in algebra. Students will learn new material through animations, videos, reading, and guided practice. The topics covered in this course include: real numbers, algebraic expressions, graphing to solve inequalities and absolute value, graphing to solve linear equations, systems of equations, factoring polynomial equations, relations and functions, quadratic equations, radical and rational expressions and equations, and probability. Students will also do timed PSAT practice questions.
