- Pencils and Erasers. Mistakes happen in math, and trying to correct mistakes made with an ink pen is challenging and creates messy work.
- A 1-inch, 3-ring binder for organizing your Workbook activities and notes, unless using a digital alternative.
- Graph Paper for notes and assignments. My favorite choice is Engineering Paper, which is constructed to have faint lines on the front for a clean appearance, but any graph paper

All quizzes and exams will be done without access to a calculator. Where technology is required in this class, a free online tool such as Desmoscan be used.
