Hello. This is a page where students and parents can get all the information they need about Miss Orrin's maths classes. There is a timetable for each year level available to look at or download. This way you can see what your child is expected to do each lesson and you'll always be informed. I will also put up test dates and any extra things that may help. You can leave comments on any post and I'll check back often to reply. If you need help outside of class time you can always look at the videos I have made at: http://www.youtube.com/missorrin
