Resources

Khan Academy
Amazing collection of videos and practice exercises! There is an online curriculum that goes from elementary school to college level math. NOTE: It will not let you create an account if you write 1999 or above as your birthyear. If you were born after 1999 you have to sit down with a parent/guardian and enter their birthday and email instead and register with them. If you would like to earn extra credit for completed assignments, go to "profile", "coaches", and add "mr.kletser@gmail.com" as a coach.
