Summer Packet 2019

(To access the full blog on your phone, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "view web version".)

Our "summer packet" isn't actually a packet. Instead, I've created a Pre-Req Prep section (found on the left) designed to be used as a summer review. These links will prepare you for the Pre-Req test to be given right after our Ch 1 test, on Sept 6th and 7th. (Please click on 1st Sem Pacing, above, for more pacing info.)

The Pre-Req Test will assess your skill level on Algebra 1 topics that are important for success in Pre-Calculus, yet are not included in the year's curriculum. The test looks identical in form to the practice tests.

If your summer is already filled with travel, activities, or a determination to avoid academics, you will still want to devote some time to your summer review . Although we will be using markerboards to practice several of these problems on the first day, and opportunities will exist to ask pre-req questions during our Ch 1 classes, there will be no direct instruction. Using the Pre-Req Prep links to review is essential for your success on the Pre-Req Test.

I look forward to meeting all of you in the fall!

Reflections

Your answers to the Reflection Prompts need to be typed in google docs and shared with me . Answers need to reflect thought and insight. I will use your ideas and feedback to help make next year's Pre-Calc even better. I will also share some of your written thoughts with next year's students (your name will not be attached to your work).

You are free to start answering these outside of class, but seniors must attend a reflection class to receive credit.
