I interviewed The Walker School’s New 9th and 10th grade math teacher today. His name is Griffin Larkin, and he teaches algebra and geometry in 9th and 10th grade. I asked him four questions so everyone could get to know him. Here are his answers. 

  1. The first question is what’s your favorite topic to teach in math and why?” I like teaching circles. I think when you dive into how a circle works, like where pie comes from and the relationship between pie and how it comes about interesting as a concept.”. 
  2. The Second question I asked was what’s your favorite part of walker. My favorite part is the students. “I like the diversity. I truly appreciate the diversity of the Walker students. I appreciate the work ethic the walker students have. I appreciate the executive functioning that walker students have, and overall, I have just been impressed with the students .” 
  3. My third question was what you like to do for fun in your free time. “I like to play golf, go on runs, and work out, and in my free time, I like to play video games and spend time with my dog, wife, and friends.” 
  4. My final question to get to know Mr. Larkin was: What is your favorite sport, and who is your favorite player? “My favorite sport is golf. Who is your favorite golf player? My favorite golf player is Scottie Scheffler. I like him because he is the best golfer in the world right now.”
