Mathematics - Advanced

  • 1 or 2 inch solft sided binder for notes and homework – at least 4 dividers; please label with student’s name
  • 1 lined tablet paper for binder – will need to be refilled throughout the year
  • 1 package ¼ inch graph paper
  • scientific calculator – must have trig functions (Sin, Cos, Tan); Probability
  • Graphing Calculator - Optional, but recommended –- NYS requires that a graphing calculator be available for student use for the Integrated Algebra Regents Exam.  We have several TI-83 Plus calculators available for use in school.  I recommend that each student purchase their own for home use, so that they can practice with it while doing homework and will be better prepared to use it for the Regents. 
  • ruler with inch and centimeter markings
  • protractor
  • Good compass – Recommended – either “Fiskars” or “Helix” giant bow compass;  I advise spending a little more money here, even though we only use them occasionally.  The results are much better and students are less frustrated.  This compass can stay at home, we have some here at school
