She’s super smart at math. She graduated from BYU with a major in mathematics education. She teaches seventh grade math and pre-algebra at Springville Junior High. That’s right—I’m talking about Miss Gee.
Miss Gee came to teach at Springville Junior High in the middle of last year after the other Math 7 teacher left. She had just returned from her mission and needed a job, so she was glad to come to this school and get started. “It was a little different because I wasn’t here at the beginning, and I had to find out how much the students really understood,” she said.
All through junior high, high school, and college, Miss Gee spent a lot of time tutoring her friends and others. She thought it was fun to help others understand and enjoy math. That’s how Miss Gee decided to become a teacher.
Miss Gee just got engaged, and she is getting married in November. Next year, her fiancé will start optometry school in Tennessee so she will move there with him. She explained, “I had planned on staying longer, but I will be moving to Tennessee next year with my fiancé. So this will be my last year at this school.”
Not a lot of people think about what teachers do when they’re not teaching school. Well, Miss Gee enjoys playing the piano or violin, hiking, biking, and just being outside. She also loves to swim and usually goes swimming in the mornings before school.
Talking to Miss Gee, you can tell that she loves and understands math and enjoys teaching. Her students will all miss her when she leaves next year.
