  • Pre-Calculus (Period 6)- Friday will be a day for questions! Come prepared!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to all my classes! I hope everyone had a great holiday break and are now ready to dive back into math! It will be a fun and challenging quarter for all my classes and I just want to remind you all that if you need help/have questions with a concept or with homework, I am free 30 minutes before school starts and an hour after school ends. Parents: feel free to call me/email me anytime if you have questions or concerns.

One change I will be implementing this quarter is that we will now have a "Math Problem of the Week"
These will be quite fun, but challenging, questions. You will turn in the question every Friday for homework points. So make sure that you check the blog every Monday for the new question!

The question for this week is:

What is the function of the graph?

Pre-Algebra/Algebra I & II Links

Gamequarium
This is a really fun website that has many different games that students can play. These games will help students practice operation order, solving for variables and other Pre-Algebra concepts.

Math.com
This website is a great resource that walks students through a mathematical concept, in-depth, and then the student is quizzed on the concept. It's a great tool to help students grasp a concept that they're struggling with.

Teach-nology
This website has many free, printable worksheets for all math subjects that students can use as extra practice. This website is great for parents, because every worksheet tells what standard is being met.

PurpleMath
I love this website because it can help Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Algebra II students, and all the information is in one condensed space. It can be used to refresh a student's memory if they've forgotten a concept or it can be an extra tool if a student is struggling with a new concept.

The Math Page
Story/Word problems are something that all students hate! This website is extremely helpful because it walks through many examples of different story/word problems. There is then many times for students to practice story/word problems.

Geometry links

Math-Play
I am a firm believer that online math games can be extremely helpful in the classroom. This website contains many interactive geometry games that are fun and educational. Students will be able to practice identifying types of polygons and angles, and these games will help to cement central geometry themes.

Learning Math
This website is very resourceful for students, it is able to piggyback off of the classroom textbook. It takes an in-depth look at specific geometry themes and includes vocabulary words and homework problems to help students cement the concept.

Glencoe Online
This may not be the exact textbook that the class uses, but math textbooks can be pretty similar. This website is a great tool to use especially around test time. This website has self check quizzes, hints are available and immediate feedback is given.

Pre-Calculus/Calculus Links

Wolfram Alpha
This is an excellent website, especially for higher math classes. It is a mathematical search engine and you can either ask for help on specific math questions or a general math topic.

Calculus.org
This is a very resourceful tool for Calculus students, it has a huge variety of links all in one place. It has many examples with step-by-step solutions, interactive Calculus concepts, how math will be used in your life and many other resources.
