Pre-Algebra Homework Files

Here are the files containing all the worksheets that may be assigned for homework. Usually we use “Workbook Activities,” but we may also use some of the “Activities.” The workbook activities have instructions and examples of how to do the problems in order to help students refresh their memory prior to practicing.

Instructions: Click the link and save to your computer. Then open the file and scroll down to the worksheet that you need to print. Make sure when you print the sheet you select “current page,” or you will print 115 pages.

Materials for Success

Successful students show up to class prepared to learn and with the needed materials in hand. They show up to class the first day, find out what materials are required, then buy the items that night. Please have the following purchased by the start of the second week of school:

For School

  1. 3-ring binders. Buy 2 or 3 because they will wear out through out the year
  2. 2 sets of dividers
  3. Pencils – a student will probably use one pencil every 2 weeks
  4. Large erasers
  5. White out – The rolling type, not the bottle
  6. Reinforcement labels – Small circle stickers to reinforce strength of 3-hole paper
  7. Highlighters – 2 packs of highlighters in different colors
  8. Pens – students will be doing a lot of writing by hand, so buy the best pens you can.
  9. 1-zipper keepers for pencils (pencil pouch)
  10. Small self-stick notes (about one pad will be used every 2 weeks)Large self-stick notes
  11. Loose-leaf paper (each academic class uses between 150-300 sheets of paper per semester)
  12. Colored pencils
  13. Backpack. A backpack is recommended, because
  14. students will be taking home their work EVERY night.

For Home

  1. These supplies should be available at all times for homework:
  2. Protractor
  3. 12-inch ruler (metric & standard)
  4. Dictionary
  5. Paper
  6. Pens and Pencils
  7. Markers and colored pencils

School Begins

As I count down the minutes until school starts August 31st, I am preparing this website to be a domain where my students can find helpful information about assignments, tutoring, and links to pertinent information.

I am hoping students and parents will bookmark the site and visit it often. Please begin by downloading the syllabus for the course you are taking.
