Registering for College Credit

Registration has been moved to January.

We will come back from winter break and start the process as a class, with info going home to parents as well. This gives us plenty of time to make a decision based on our post high school plans (including our area of study and choice of school).

We will continue to talk about college as this semester progresses, with opportunities to revisit the college credit option several times before January.

The last problem on your 1.2 WebAssign HW will require a graphing calculator. If you don't have one available at home, please use DESMOS
We will spend more time finding the Domain and Range of graphs next class.

SUMMER PACKET 2018

(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!
