Welcome to Spring Semester 2009! In Geometry we start off with similarity and move quickly into trigonometry. This is the section of the course that all students will need a scientific calculator. Many brands are available and it should not cost more than $15. If you are unable to purchase a calculator at this time, please let me know; I have a few to loan out. Pre-Algebra 7 is starting off the year studying linear equations and move into the 7th grade Measurement and Geometry Standards. Pre-Algebra 8 is also starting off the year graphing lines and then will review percents.
