Siler City, NC - Heather Sherrod, a third grade teacher at Siler City Elementary School, is the 2007 recipient in Chatham County Schools of the Outstanding Elementary School Mathematics Teacher Award.
The North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) sponsors the award. It is designed to reward elementary teachers who make mathematics exciting and who motivate students by involving them in projects and activities that enhance everyday classroom experiences.
Sherrod uses many techniques in her classroom to teach mathematics. She uses hands-on activities as technology to vary mathematics instruction. Her third grade students use Excel to build graphs, and they learn different ways to use the TI-15 calculator.
As a recipient of the award, Sherrod will receive a one-year membership in the NCCTM, a personalized award, and recognition at the NCCTM state conference in Greensboro. In addition, her name will appear in the Fall 2007 issue of the NCCTM journal, the Centroid, and on the NCCTM website.
