New Link Added for Instructional Videos

The Khan Academy is a non-profit organization. The mission of the Khan Academy is to provide a world-class education, for free, to anyone in the world. It consists of 1800+ (and growing) videos on YouTube covering everything from basic arithmetic to advanced calculus, chemistry, physics and biology, finance and economics, and history.  There is also test prep for SAT Math.

You can watch the 12 minute instuctional videos for reinforcement of concepts you have learned in class and if you like you can login to the academy for a series of exercises that allow students to practice and assess their knowledge at their own pace.

There will be a permanent link posted in the left-hand column of this page.  You do not need any passwords for access to the site.
