About me
Brittany Nichols is currently an AP Statistics and Honors Geometry teacher entering her 11th year in education. Throughout her career, she has taught grades 6–12, including regular and advanced middle school math, Algebra I, Geometry, AP Statistics, and even a Project Lead the Way course during COVID. Her passion is helping students become confident problem solvers. Maybe it's because she grew up watching Ms. Frizzle, but she firmly believes that every student can learn, grow, and do hard things when given the right opportunities. Rather than focusing on getting answers quickly, she focuses on helping students develop the confidence to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. In her classroom, you'll find students talking, questioning, struggling productively, and working through rich tasks with low-floor entry points. She draws from strategies such as Building Thinking Classrooms, Kagan structures, questioning techniques, and her own classroom routines to support student discourse and mathematical thinking. As Ms. Frizzle says, "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!" That's the mindset she hopes every student and teacher leaves with.
