Welcome to Mr. Czuchta’s webpage! This year I’m excited to have the opportunity to teach a variety of mathematics courses here at Mills, such as Geometry, Foundations of Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. I am a resident of Bristol, CT…a recent graduate of the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!)…and am excited to meet the challenge of making the study of mathematics fun, relevant, and successful for the students of Lewis Mills High School.
Teaching mathematics has been a great experience for me. I love having the opportunity to help students make the leap to the next level of their understanding. Personally, I remember the struggles mathematics can bring to a student, and I do my best to alleviate math anxiety by guiding students to see things from various perspectives and ultimately realize the connections between new concepts and the mathematical skills they already have. This synthesis of prior knowledge and new concepts helps students tackle new situations with confidence and become the best problem solvers they can be.
Course Descriptions:
Foundations of Algebra-
This course is designed to help students build the algebraic skills they will need to solve problems and think critically. Together, we will begin by exploring and using the fundamental properties of algebra and progressively build knowledge so that by the conclusion of this course students will have a solid understanding of algebra and will be able to apply the skills they have learned. The topics learned in Foundations will carry over into future math courses and increase students’ overall problem solving abilities.

Geometry-
This course will guide students through concepts of mathematics which deal with geometric relationships and logical reasoning. Students will draw upon their prior knowledge learned in algebra in order to develop new understandings of the relationships within and between geometric figures. Together, we will learn how to communicate mathematical ideas effectively and use inductive and deductive reasoning to solve problems and develop reasonable conjectures (conclusions).

Pre-Calculus-
This course is designed to help students synthesize the skills and concepts they have studied in previous years and use these skills to work with more complex functions. Students will explore characteristics of functions that they have previously worked with, as well as learn about new families of functions, trigonometric concepts, and ultimately the skills necessary to be ready to study calculus.
