Supply List

SUPPLY LIST FOR MATH

1. A TI-83 PLUS or TI-84 PLUS graphing calculator. You can get these at office supply stores or stores like Target. You can get them online as well. PLEASE SAVE YOUR UPC CODES!! I will collect them and they can be used to purchase supplies for our classroom.

2. In addition to the ones in your calculator... please keep a spare 4-pack of AAA batteries in your backpack. Inevitably, your calculator batteries will die in the worst moment. BE PREPARED! I do not keep spare batteries and you'll be out of luck :(

3. Two 1.5 inch, 3 ring binders. You will need one for class, and one for your portfolio. The portfolio binder can be kept at home until it is due. If you wish to combine your math binder with another subject, that's okay as long as you separate work clearly with dividers. In that case, you may want to have a 2 inch binder.

4. Plenty of notebook paper.

5. Pencils with erasers. Homework must be done in pencil. I recommend keeping a separate, spare eraser for when the little ones on the pencils run out. There always seems to be more pencil than eraser.

6. A pencil sharpener. The kind that come with the case to catch the shavings are best. I do have a sharpener in the classroom if you need one, but it is noisy and distracting. It's better to have one at your seat.

7. A straight edge. The planner given to you at the beginning of the school year has one of these in it. That will be fine, but please bring it to class and have it available at home for homework.

8. Graph paper. I have provided a link on the homepage if you prefer to print your own paper versus buy it.

9. A pack of dividers. You will need a divider for Notes, Homework, and Quizzes/Tests in your class binder. You will need a minimum of four dividers for your portfolio. So altogether, you'll need a pack with at least 7 dividers.

10. A pack of 3 X 5 notecards. These will be important for studying.
