Graph paper is to be used for all homework and work in class unless
otherwise noted.  The graph paper should be 8.5" x 11" and pre-punched
to fit in a 3-ring binder; .  Students should come to class with at
least two (2) black-lead pencils (sharpened by the time the bell
rings).  A pencil eraser will likely be handy.  Math work done in ink
will not be accepted.  Students should, however, have 2 red ink pens
(or pencils) available for occasional grading of work.  

A straight-edge (ruler) will be needed (measurements should be in both
metric and English units), as will a protractor.  Calculators are not
needed for this class.

A math notebook is required; it should be a 3-ring binder, with
dividers and tabs. Tabs should be labeled as Benchmark Tests, Class
Notes, Handouts, Homework, Quizzes, and Warm-ups.  It is strongly
suggested the 3-ring binder be a 2", "D" ring binder.
