Getting started and catching up

Our summer semester of Math 11 is about to begin!
My goal for these five weeks is for all students in the class to be successful in meeting their goals.  I really think this can happen if everyone is committed to working hard -- remember it's only 5 weeks!

I will use this blog to post links to help you keep up with the course, as well as solutions to rehearsal tests and other material that I would normally give as handouts.  Maybe we can save a few trees and taxpayer dollars.

Please use the comment box to ask questions or to add links that you have found useful.

To start, the Khan Academy has on-line exercises and video lessons to help you review many topics. You will need a Google account to access the exercises. By Monday, you should aim to be proficient in these areas:

Multiplying fractions
Dividing fractions
Least common multiple
Equivalent fractions
Adding and subtracting fractions
Multiplying and dividing negative numbers
Adding and subtracting negative numbers
Order of operations
Linear equations 1
Linear equations 2
Linear equations 3
Linear equations 4
Multiplying expressions 1
Graphing points
Line graph intuition

Another good resource is Purple Math




Let's see if shots of the board show up -- if so, I could post shots of board notes so that students who don't want to watch and listen and write all at the same time can still have a record of the notes.

Hmmm -- not to bad, eh?

Does anyone want to volunteer to be the board shot recorder?
