Merry Christmas

Here are some pictures of the 9th grade working on their gingerbread houses that Mrs. Golhke was sweet enough to make for us.  Everyone had a great time.  Thanks Maddy and Mrs. Golhke!!





This is our "Math" Christmas tree that my Algebra I class decorated!

Geometry Projects

Geometry students were given two project ideas that they were to choose from.  They could do a Geometry Map Project or a Logo Project.  These projects had specific instructions that correlates with the material we are studying in class.  Students had the option to work with a partner or work alone and they presented their projects in the front of the class.  Here are pictures of some the students and their projects.

112 Extra Help Chapter 9

College Math students, this is a site that covers the Rational Root Theorem, Factor Theorem, and Remainder Theorem and has some practice problems of each.  This material will definitely be on the test.  The second link is a pencast of a friend of mine that teaches this class at JSU.  He made this pencast for his students to help them on the material in this chapter.

Calculus Extra Help

Calculus students, this is a site that has practice problems and tutorials on every section in our book. I have not looked through every problem to see the correlation between their problems and our problems but this practice will only benefit you!!

Algebra II Extra Help

Algebra II students,  the link below goes to two Algebra II textbooks that has extra examples, quizzes, practice tests, and other resources that you might find helpful.  These books do not correlate exactly with the sections in our book but if you look at the names of the sections in our book and then find the section with the same name or similar name on these sites then it will be exactly what we have covered in class.  I hope this helps!  MAKE SURE YOU LOOK FOR THE CHAPTERS THAT DEAL WITH MATRICES!
