All students are given a Algebra Readiness book, Big Ideas MATH, as we do NOT have a class set of this book.

**The calculator that we use each day is the Texas Instruments TI-34 II. We have a class set of these calculators, however, if you are looking to purchase a calculator for use with homework, I would recommend purchasing this model in order to have more practice with the functions the calculator offers.
is a comprehensive math resource site for homeschooling parents and teachers: find free worksheets, math ebooks for
elementary grades, extensive link list of games, interactive tutorials & quizzes, curriculum guide, and teaching tips articles. The resources emphasize understanding of concepts instead of mechanical memorization of rules
All assignments are subject to change --please check agenda or call a classmate for updated information.
