Student Resource Center...
The Student Resource Center is located in Room 106. Here, students can get help with their work and/or use computers for research and printing. The resource center is open every day from 8-8:30am and after school starting at 3:15pm.
Tutoring...
While every teacher wishes they had a list of awesome tutors, that is just not the case. Googling is likely one of your best options.
I was also notified of the following resource by a parent... Concordia University offers free homework help on Monday and Thursday from 6:30-7:30pm (they meet in the GRW library). They also have a "teacher corps" program for individual tutoring (cost varies). Call 503-493-6269 for more information.
Other available resources to help out...
The book Math on Call is a great general mathematics resource guide (ISBN# 0669508195). It is basically a math dictionary that provides a short description on any topic/term and also an example. It's a good resource just to have around the house.
The website Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org) is a great website! Go to the site, fine the topic that you're working on or struggling with and then watch a virtual lesson on the topic! It is narrated by the person doing the work and you get to watch the problem being done, with step by step explanations, right before your eyes! A very valuable resource when in need of extra help!
For students using the Algebra Connections text - you can get online help by following these steps:
1. Go to www.cpm.org/courses/
2. At the top of the page, click on "homework help"
3. On the next page, find the picture of your math book and click on your particular book's cover
4. From there, select the appropriate chapter, section number, and then the Review/Preview problem you need help on!
