Required Materials

 * Binder: 3 ring, graph paper preferred, dividers for notes, homework, classwork, tests and warmups
 * ** If a student prefers to use spiral or otherwise bound notebooks, than the student must have a separate binder for notes so that notes can be used while solving problems. **
 * Pencils and erasers for most work; blue pen and red pen for corrections ([|also consider 4 color pen])

Not required, but strongly suggested

 * Calculator, scientific preferred, graphing if possible
