This document is meant to help students entering an Algebra I course make sure they have the skills to help them be successful. The document has 40 problems chosen from three areas: Algebraic Literacy, Computation, and Algebra. The document can be used in several ways: as a review at the beginning of the school year, as a summative assessment at the end of the school year, as a summer assignment, or as a placement test.

We have given this 40 question summer assignment for many years to students who have completed our Pre-Calculus/Mathematical Analysis courses and have enrolled in Calculus for the following year. The idea is for students to review concepts taught from previous courses that will be necessary for their success in Calculus. All of the problems have been chosen with the hindsight of many years of Calculus instruction. Problems include writing equations of lines, evaluating trigonometric expressio

This document provides a summary of the function transformations, including: translations, reflections, and dilations. The document is meant to be a resource for students as they practice their transformation skills. This update contains a second page with two modeled examples to demonstrate how the transformation summary on the first page may be used to sketch the graphs of two sample functions (quadratic and square root).

We have used this study for a number of years as a resource for our students leading up to the state-wide mandated testing at the end of the year. Many students have seen this material in the middle of the school year and need the refresher in forms of equations, slope, parallel and perpendicular lines, graphing equations, writing equations, vertical and horizontal lines and x- and y-intercepts. The first two pages can be used as a stand-alone study guide, while the next four pages are practic

This document is packed with 12 pages of Pre-Calculus information that will be helpful for the Calculus student to have at their fingertips. The references include: basic rules of algebra (laws of exponents, special products, special factoring), common values of trigonometric expressions, 21 common parent functions with domain and range provided, common formulas from geometry and analytic geometry, and 25 of the most common trigonometric identities.

Students come to us with varied classroom experiences, interests, and talents. But what are those experiences? And how to students see themselves? Over the course of many years we have used and tweaked this survey to be given at the beginning of the school year to help get to know our students better. Students' candor and insight into their own learning is invaluable. Additionally, the first page of this survey can also be given at the *end* of the school year as a post assessment. Used in
