Miss Condron graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education Mathematics. She is excited to share her passion for math and Jesus with her Middle School students! Miss Condron enjoys traveling, painting, staying active, and cute coffee shops.

Education void of God is empty. Proverbs 9:10 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” True wisdom and complete understanding are products of fearing the Lord. Mathematics through a lens that “fears the Lord” shows us the mind of God – His order, structure, and establishment of absolute truth. Students in my classroom don’t invent truth through mathematical processes; they uncover it. A biblical approach to teaching math highlights the logical, consistent nature of God, reveals truths about the world He created, and is grounded in His Word. Because we are made in God’s image, we are able to think analytically, logically, and creatively. As Johannes Kepler once said, when we study math, we “think God’s thoughts after Him.” Throughout history, mathematical understanding has enabled people to fulfill God’s command to subdue the earth and care for it—leading to countless innovations and advancements. Through real-world applications and problem-solving, I want my students to see that they, too, can participate in God’s purposes through mathematics. Studying God and His design leads us to worship. Since God is infinite, and mathematics reflects that infinite nature, exploring math should stir awe and wonder. 

Our response to this understanding should be a deeper love for God, which overflows into love for others. Jesus affirmed this in Matthew 22:37-39, commanding us to love the Lord and to love our neighbors. That command will be a guiding principle in my classroom. I expect my students to treat one another with Christ-like love and respect—and I am committed to modeling this through servant leadership, just as Jesus did when He washed His disciples’ feet (John 13:4-9). 

The third Biblical mandate that I will emphasize in my classroom is the Great Commission. “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost… Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:19-20). This is the call for every Christian. Our lives should be spent proclaiming the Gospel and making disciples. There is no higher calling! Learning math is a skill that will help students communicate God’s Truth. Mathematics is a cross-cultural language that can be used to communicate and connect with people anywhere in the world. What an amazing opportunity for the Gospel!
