Meet Mrs. Diggs

Welcome to Sixth Grade Math! My name is Mrs. Diggs and this is my first year as a Moody Bearcat and my 19th year as a teacher.  My family includes my husband who is a pastor and our daughter who is an oncology nurse as well as our fur babies--2 pugs and 2 corgis. I am a proud Texas A&M Aggie and a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, cooking, photography, reading, crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble. 

 

Math is not just about getting the right answer — it's about problem solving, logical thinking, and making sense of the world. Speed doesn’t define intelligence—understanding does. I focus on helping students grow at their own pace and I remind my students that mistakes are valuable. They give us insight into how we think and help us learn more deeply. I want my students to feel confident trying, failing, and trying again. Also, there is often more than one way to solve a problem. I encourage students to share their methods and learn from each other, building flexibility in thinking. Math helps us make smart decisions.
