Math Technology Tools

This year in math we will be making use of a wide variety of tools to help us gain a better understanding of math.  The main objective for today is to get everybody signed-up for these online tools.

Khan Academy:

Khan Academy is a great place to go to get some additional skills practice for both the current unit as well as areas from last year where you might need some additional practice.  To set-up your Khan Academy account, follow the directions posted here.

Class codes:
Block C -  YUGTSP
Block E -  B5HCRK
Block G -  BHTYCB

Dash Web:

Dash Web is on online version of your math book that also gives you direct access to some pretty cool math tools and resources.  You have already been set-up for this.  Your login is your regular SAS username.  Your password is "math1234".


Math XL For School:

Math XL is a another place where you can get some extra practice for the unit that we are currently working on.  The great thing about Math XL is that it directly ties to the exact units that we are doing in class.  To set-up your Math XL account, follow the directions posted here.

StatKey:

StatKey is a Google App that we will use later this year.  Download it and install it now.

Desmos is also a Google App.  It is an awesome graphing tool that we will use throughout the year.  Download it and install it now.
