Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school. This year will be an excited year as we dig deeper into a variety of algebraic functions and relations. We will also learn more about the trigonometric functions you learned in Honors Geometry. We will be utilizing Khan Academy to extend what you learned about Statistics in Algebra 1.The purpose of this course is to prepare you to take AP Calculus AB next school year. I encourage all students to purchase a TI-84 plus calculator at some point this school year. This is the calculator you will need for the SAT, ACT, AP tests, and in most colleges.


Syllabus/Parent letter due back signed 9/9

Summer help

Hope everyone has had a great summer!

Mr. Halstead and I will be at NHS this Wednesday 8/21 from 9-11am if anyone needs help with their summer assignment. We will also be available the week of 8/26-8/30 but you will need to call NHS or email one of us to set up a time as we have meetings each day.

Have a great summer and Summer Assignments

I have had a great school year getting to know all of you on our journey learning PreCalc. I hope you all have some fun plans this summer. 

Those of you taking an AP math course don't forget about your summer assignment and you can use khan academy to help prepare for the SAT test many of you will take next school year.

Those of you not taking an AP math course please keep in mind that you can use khan academy to review skills from this past year and to also prep for the SAT test many of you will take sometime next year. 

To use Khan Academy you can log in on the CCPS website using your school email and birthdate. If you have your own account that does not use your CCPS email you can use that one instead. Completing the grade level mission{I would suggest Algebra 2 and/or Trigonometry} is a great way to prevent the summer knowledge slide.  For those of you taking Math Analysis next year the PreCalculus course will give you a nice preview of some things you will see next year. You only need to spend 15 – 20 minutes a day or  45 – 60 minutes a week working on the mission.  Khan is also an official practice site for SAT.  PSAT scores can be loaded-in to give students individualized practice.  I have included directions  in the link below and on the flyer on how to access this personalized practice.
