Mrs. De La Fuente
Math Specialist and Instructional Coach
7th and 8th Grade Math Teacher
After teaching for over a decade at Great Oak High School, I became the Math Specialist here at GMS. This is my eighth year in this capacity. I teach 7th and 8th grade math classes, along with spending lots of time in our other math classrooms on campus and collaborating in lesson design with the math department.
I earned my BA in Mathematics at USC, a member of the rowing team all 4 years, traveling the country to compete at the highest levels.
I love giving students opportunities to deepen their understanding of mathematics (and talk about rowing, Dodgers vs Padres, CrossFit and college football).

Desmos Calculator
Use this free, web based scientific and graphing calculator. This is the one built into the CAASPP and SAT. There is a free app you can put on all devices too. I highly recommend it!
