All Honors Algebra II students need to have either a TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator by the first Thursday of school. We have a limited number available through our school's book room, but upperclassmen get priority and there may be few, if any, available for freshmen. Buying one of these now will not only help students in this course, but in all of their other high school math courses, as well as in their college years.

Here is a look at our first week:

Monday, August 13: Welcome!
Go over syllabus, learning styles inventories and questions on prerequisite packet page 1.
HW: Get your syallbus signed, your supplies purchased and finish prerequisite packet

Tuesday, August 14: SAT Challenge of the Day
