I grew up in Bennington and graduated from BHS in 2010. I had great teachers especially in the math department when I attended BHS. They allowed me to grow in math with my own ways of coming up with an answer. They are the reason I enjoy math because they passed that enjoyment to me. I went to Central Christian College where I earned a Bachelor’s in Mathematics emphasizing in Education. Before coming back to Bennington I spent 4 years teaching High School Math at Scott Community High School. |
I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Kansas State University (1995). I am also certified in the following areas: K-9 self contained, 5-9 Mathematics, 5-9 Social Sciences. I am the 7-12 athletic director and have coached volleyball, football, basketball, track, baseball, and golf. Currently, I am the assistant high school baseball coach. I am married to my beautiful wife, Ann, and we have two children, Devin and Avery. |
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education from Kansas State University, with emphases in Math and Computer Science. I later earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching from Friends University. For the past 14 years, I have taught a range of math classes from Pre-Algebra up through Calculus. I have also coached Debate and Scholar’s Bowl in that time. I moved to Salina last year with my wife, Kara, and our sons, Soren and Xander. I look forward to teaching at Bennington, as well as serving as an assistant coach to Scholar’s Bowl.

My name is Rob Glenn. I was born in Alameda, CA, and have resided in Kansas since I was eight. I'm married to my wonderful wife Julie Glenn. Allie is our daughter who is attending Tescott Elementary, and I have a step daughter, Haley, who is a junior at Salina South. I have a younger brother, Dave, who is a math teacher in Milwaukee, WI (Go Bucks Go!) My mother and father are retired and live in Salina.
I hold a bachelor's of elementary education with an emphasis in mathematics from Kansas State and a masters of education from Baker University. I have been in education for 15 years and it's been an amazing ride. I've always been interested in math and hope to continue inspiring that curiosity at Tescott. |

Course Descriptions:
Course Title: Pre-Algebra 8 Duration: 2 Semesters Grade: 8 Credit: 0 Course Objective: Pre-Algebra courses increase students’ foundational math skills and prepare them for Algebra I by covering a variety of topics, such as properties of rational numbers (i.e., number theory), ratio, proportion, estimation, exponents and radicals, the rectangular coordinate system, sets and logic, formulas, and solving first-degree equations and inequalities.
Course Title: Algebra I Duration: 2 Semesters Grade: 9-12 Credit: 1 Course Objective: Algebra 1 provides the opportunity to refine and extend mathematical skills. Students will develop higher level problem solving skills and an understanding of the relationship between graphs, equations, tables and written statements. Topics covered are: expressions, equations, inequalities, systems, functions, exponents, polynomials, quadratics, radical and rational expressions.
Course Title: Geometry Duration: 2 Semesters Grade: 9-12 Credit: 1 Prerequisite: Algebra 1 Course Objective: Geometry is the visual study of shapes, sizes, patterns and the relative position of figures. Students will apply the basic principles and concepts to practical experience. Topics covered include: Reasoning and Proof, Parallel and Perpendicular Lines, Congruence and Similarity, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Trigonometry, Area and Volume, and Circles.
Course Title: Algebra 2 Duration: 2 semesters Grade: 10-12 Credit: 1 Prerequisite: Algebra I Course Objective: Algebra II provides an opportunity for students to learn about those topics of algebra, which have practical value as well as those that have theoretical value in subsequent mathematical courses. Algebra II is a must for any student wishing to pursue a college course in math or science. Algebra II includes systems of linear equations, rational numbers and expressions, factoring, relations, functions, irrational numbers, and trigonometric functions.
Course Title: College Algebra Duration: 1 Semester Grade: 11-12 Credit: 3 College Credit and/or 1 High School Credit Prerequisite: College Algebra / Accuplacer Exam or 22 on ACT Text: College Algebra Fees: College Tuition Course Objective: College Algebra reviews standard topics of algebra. A student will study linear and quadratic equations, graphing functions and function notation, high order polynomial equations, determinants, matrix algebra, sequences, series, and binomial expansion.
Course Title: College Trigonometry Duration: 1 Semester Grade: 11-12 Credit: 3 College Credit and/or 1 High School Credit Prerequisite: College Algebra Fees: College Tuition Course Objective: Trigonometry is a study of trigonometric functions, solutions to right and oblique triangles, trigonometric identities, inverse functions, and graphs of trigonometric functions.
Course Title: Calculus Duration: 2 Semesters Grade: 11-12 Credit: 1 Prerequisite: College Trigonometry & College Algebra Course Objective: This course includes the study of analytic geometry, functions, limits, continuity, velocity differentiation, second derivatives, maxima and minimal integration, and other related topics.
Course Title: Standardized Test Preparation (ACT Prep) Duration: 2 Semesters Grade: 10-11 Credit: 1 Elective Credit Prerequisite: none Text: none Fees: Kaplan Program License Fee Course Objective: This course is an online preparation program for the ACT.
