Mr. LaPoint's 7th Grade PAP Math

Teacher Bio

Hello my name is Mr. LaPoint, I am a 7th Grade Math & PAP Math Teacher. This will be my first year teaching at East, but this will be my third year teaching mathematics. I have two years of prior experience teaching 8th grade & 7th grade GT math in the Corpus Christi area. I recently married my wife this past March, whom I met during our time as students at Pearland High School. PJHE has a special place in my heart as it was the Junior High that I went through growing up. I am glad to be back at East and ready to get the school year started!

Calculator

TI-Nspire CX Calculators (used in class)

Both images are of the TI-Nspire CX calculator that we will use in class. You may buy the new version (CX II), but do NOT buy the CAS. That version is not allowed on state tests (SAT, ACT) and in some college courses. It is not a requirement that students have either one of these calculators at home.
