Teacher and Course Information

Ms. Toni Kaui
Mathematics

Aloha!

My name is Toni Kaui. I am a class of 1989 graduate of Kamehameha Kapälama. I attended Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri and am formally trained as an architect. The majority of my architectural career was spent as a commercial designer, primarily designing mall anchor department stores, financial institutions, and educational facilities. I spent the latter part of my career designing custom homes in Denver, Colorado.

Becoming frustrated with working with residential clients, I ventured into teaching through an innovative program designed by the Colorado Department of Education, which allows people with a Bachelors Degree and sufficient credits in hard-to-place subjects to earn a provisional teaching license. During the first three years, I taught remedial math at the high school level, and I spent the last year teaching gifted and talented students at the middle school level. I also coached high school girls basketball.

Course Overview

Basic Algebra 1, Algebra 1, and 2 is designed with the intent of continuing traditional algebra concepts through a variety of activities, which when coupled with thematic, real-life applications, allow the students to develop a greater appreciation for mathematics and its applicability within society.

”But it’s not just learning that’s important. It’s learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters.”
Norton Juster
The Phantom Tollbooth

A mind is a child’s most powerful tool. With a mind filled with passion, motivation, and determination, a child can travel to places that he or she can never reach or imagine. As a teacher, I am fortunate enough to teach children about life, and they have the power to teach me what life is all about. I am committed to each and every child that walks through my door. I teach them that with a passion for learning, the motivation to strive to achieve the unimaginable, and the determination to continue their journey regardless of obstacles, they can realize all of their dreams.
