Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Does my child have to have a calculator for your class?
We will not use one very much in Algebra 1 for a while. We will, however, use them a bit more toward the end of the 2nd nine weeks and beyond. I suggest every student get a TI84Plus Silver Edition. Adv. Alg and Trig students and Calculus students should all have one on day one.Back to Top

How much homework should we expect to see?
In Algebra I, parents should see homework 2-3 nights a week. In Advanced Alg and Trig(AAT) and Calculus, it will vary. AAT will sometimes have homework several nights a week and sometimes we will go for several days without it. No matter though, students should put in 30 minutes a night even if we do not have homework. A lot of Calculus work will be done in class.Back to Top
