Welcome to Math in Mr. Hodges’ Classroom!

This is my 20^th year of teaching, first at the middle school level. I started my career teaching fourth grade, all subjects, for 4 years in Killeen, Texas.  This will be my 16th year teaching in Fort Bend ISD since leaving Killeen. I spent the last 14 years at Cornerstone Elementary, teaching primarily 5th grade math and science.

I am a firm teacher with strong expectations for how my students should approach their learning. From day one, I work really hard to get my students to understand the importance of taking ownership and responsibility for their learning. The absolute greatest way for them to demonstrate this to me is by asking questions about the topics and strategies that they don’t quite understand. True learning begins with questions. I LOVE IT WHEN MY STUDENTS ASK QUESTIONS! I really enjoy teaching math. It gives me great pleasure to watch my students grow as young learners and individuals, especially when that growth includes successes that they have previously failed to achieve before spending a year with me.

I am a Wyoming boy that grew up playing baseball, fishing, and enjoying the great outdoors that surrounded me in my hometown of Casper, Wyoming. I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelor of Art in Elementary Education. I have an energetic set of boy/girl twins, Christian and Hayley, that are also starting their first year in middle school. My amazing wife, Sara, who also teaches at an elementary school in Alief. 

Have a great and prosperous 2023-2024 school year!
