About Me

Hello and welcome to my page!  My name is Mrs. Gates and I am the Math Instructional Support Teacher, or Math IST, here at Hamblen Elementary.  I work with all teachers supporting them in math grades kindergarten through fifth grade using best practices. 

This is my eleventh year at Channelview ISD. I graduated from Lamar University with my Master's degree in Elementary Education. I love seeing how math is integrated into our daily lives and showing students how math is fun. 

If you or your child needs support in math, please feel free to reach out to me.
