in construction: FORUM use the Forum to help each other or to ask me questions.
Level I for 9th  graders. You need Algebra I

Level II for 10th graders. You need Algebra II
Level III fot 11th graders. You need Trigonometry
materials : notebook (take notes ! ), internet connection (and a computer, of course)
graph papers, protractor, RULER, TI 83 or TI 84, ruler in cm and your enthusiasm ..
students: Most of the pages are best seen using FIREFOX.
Physics guide from Trevor. Use it  for independent study
See books below too. I am still working on the pages, please be patient.
