//**- I get the math in school, but I forget how to do it at home. Does my book offer additional resources to help?**// Answer: YES!!!! Because of the wonderful internet, there are lots of resources available from practice test to videos of each concept. Each class is using a different book, so different resources are available. Please take a look and enjoy! (Clicking on the links will take you away from this website. Please be careful about what you view.)

= Technology =

//**- I don't have a calculator. What do I do?**// Answer: We will be using calculators in this classroom. I do have a set of TI-30s, but I do encourage you to purchase your own as I think that it is a wise investment for future math classes. Before you purchase any calculator, please shop around. August and September are GREAT times to find deals on calculators. (The links below show a picture of each calculator which were taken from the [|TI Website] .)


 * Math 7** students will not need anything higher than a scientific calculator (such as the TI-30 or TI-34 ) for my class, but if you want to getting a graphing calculator you'll be able to use it later. If you're interested in purchasing a graphing calculator for high school, I recommend a TI-83 Plus, TI-84 or TI-Nspire (NOT the TI-Nspire CAS ). All of these calculators are allowed on the CRTs, ACTs, UBSCTs, and many other tests.

If you don't need the UPC from your new calculator for a rebate or other reason, please bring it to Mrs. Call. As a school we are able to get a discount on the purchase of additional technology for each UPC we have.

What if you don't want to purchase a calculator? Well, most cell phones have basic calculator functions--but cell phones CAN NOT be used in class!!! If you don't currently have a cell phone, there are online calculators available such as [|calculator.com] which also have graphing capabilities.
