4) XP Math (http://www.xpmath.com/): Once on this site, click on your class name at the top. You can review material covered in class by playing fun games, like Probability Plinko! In addition, if you want to prepare for the Moving with Math Test or the MSA, you can find games that will help you practice basic math skills like multiplication and division.
5) Math Dude (https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/itv/mathdude/): Once on this site, click on the video you would like to watch and download it. These videos are relatively \short (less than ten minutes) and Math Dude does a wonderful job explaining the different concepts. He even includes many real life examples! We watch these quite a bit in class, but they would be very helpful to watch at home to review the material once again.
6) Glencoe Algebra 1 Textbook Online (http://www.algebra1.com/): Once on this site, click on the red book on the left. To log in to the student edition of the book, use: ALG105, beP8emEk. This website also has a lot of other useful resources, including worksheets and practice quizzes.

3) HSA Practice (http://mdk12.org/): Once on this site, click on High School Assessments and then "What Does HSA Look Like?" This allows you to prepare for the Algebra HSA by looking at and completing HSA questions asked on past tests. I would recommend studying the tests from 2008 and 2009. Once you figure out the answer, you can click on "See Answer" so you can check to see if you are correct!

RESOURCES
1) Cool Math http://coolmath.com/): This site is full of great information! You can look at the different math lessons that we are covering in class, play fun math games, and even look at a Math Dictionary if you get stuck on a vocabulary word. This site is broken down by your class, so be sure to choose PreAlgebra, Algebra, or Geometry when you first get to the website. Oh, and my favorite part--there is a link for a graphing calculator that you can use to do your homework!

I have attached a copy of my Homework Policy. Again, your child should keep this paper in his/her binder/folder at all times.
