Teacher Bio

Hi!

Welcome to 8th grade math!  I’m Keith MacKenzie and I’ll be your guide for your journey.  I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, and yes, I do indeed LOVE hockey!  I moved to the US in 1998, and lived in Peoria, Illinois.  I moved here to Arizona in 2019.  I can honestly say I will NOT miss the snow.  I believe math is best learned by exploring and doing, so we will be using activities and discussions to build your knowledge.  Our classroom is a welcoming environment where we will often collaborate with partners and groups to discover how the concepts we learn and use in the classroom can be applied to real-world problems and ideas.  I’m looking forward to having an amazing academic year together.
