Welcome to Mr. Meador's Grade 7 Math

 

I have taught Math and Science for over 15 years. I graduated from Caldwell Parishi HS in 1981 and Louisiana Tech in 1987. I received my Masters in teaching from ULM in 2011. I served 4 years in the Navy and work in various careers from Manufacturing to Banking. I love teaching students and always have been a trainer or teacher in every job.

 

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend!
