HONORS PRECALCULUS RESOURCES:
Below are several helpful resources for if you ever get stuck trying to figure out a math problem, or if you just want to entertain yourself with some interesting math ideas. This is a short list and there are hundreds of equally good resources. Use what works for you. If you come across a great website that has worked for you, let me know and I will add it to the list.
And of course, you always have your notes, textbook (and me!) as your first and primary resource.
www.drcruzan.com
This is Dr. Cruzan's website which he has recently created. It is a really nice site that has his notes from over the years on Algebra 2, Precalculus, Geometry and even some science courses like Chemistry and Physics.
www.purplemath.com/
A great website that shows examples of problems and their solutions. A nice resource for upper-level math courses (especially involving Algebra).
www.mathforum.org
The Math Forum is a leading center for mathematics and mathematics education on the Internet. Operating under Drexel's Goodwin College of Professional Studies, our mission is to provide resources, materials, activities, person-to-person interactions, and educational products and services that enrich and support teaching and learning in an increasingly technological world.
www.khanacademy.org/
Great resource with videos explaining various concepts that will be covered in class. This is a nice resource for non math classes as well.
www.intmath.com
Good website with some nice definitions of concepts and some examples.
www.youtube.com
This probably seems like a no-brainer, but youtube has a plethora of videos of people explaining concepts that we learn in class. Sometimes it just helps to hear the information from someone else. I would suggest using youtube or khanacademy for videos of people explaining concepts when stuck on homework.
http://www.sosmath.com/index.html
Nice resource with example problems and solutions. Particularly helpful when we get to trigonometry and more advanced topics.
