7th-12 th Grade Math Classes – If you know the next class you will be taking, look for that
class next to the teacher’s name below. Some classes have not been scheduled yet or may
need an additional section to be taught. If that is the case or you are not sure what you will
be taking this year, please wait to get specific supplies for that class. All math classes require
college-ruled loose leaf paper, graph paper, and pencils.
Mrs. Long’s Classes (Algebra 2 and Financial Literacy)
For my classes, you NEED three basic things: a way to keep handouts organized, paper, and something to write with.
Here are some items I recommend…
Handout Organizer
1″ 3 Ring Binder (For the student who is generally good about keeping a neat, organized binder. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix
it.)
OR
Fivestar Flex Hybrid Notebinder (For the student who prefers a spiral notebook but needs a binder. It’s the best of both!)
OR
Expanding file folder with 7 pockets (For the student whose handouts just never seem to make it onto those 3 pesky
rings. This gives you one place to shove all the things and then organize them later… or never… but at least you can find
them.)
Paper
Loose leaf paper for binders
OR
1 subject spiral notebook for the expandable file folder.
*Wide-ruled, college-ruled, and graph paper are all fine.
Pencils… or Pens
Just please have plenty of pens and/or pencils. (I find that having more than one color for different steps helps some
students.)
OPTIONAL ITEMS
It would be beneficial to have at least a scientific calculator for class each day.
ALGEBRA 2: We will be using TI 84+ graphing calculators often in class. If you would like to have the same graphing
calculator for home use, I often find good deals on eBay. They are allowed on the ACT.

Mrs. Bell’s Classes (Geometry, College Algebra, Trig/PreCal, and Calculus)
Geometry
2 inch 3-ring binder
loose-leaf paper
pencils
colored pencils
ruler with both metric and customary measures
graph paper
protractor – I will give each student a protractor. If they lose it or break it, they can buy another one
for $0.50.
scientific calculator with trigonometric functions – This is the calculator that I would like for students to
get. If students get a different kind, it makes it difficult for me to demonstrate how to use the
calculator for specific calculations that we will be doing.
compass – For students to be able to do constructions well, they MUST have a great compass. Plastic
compasses DO NOT work well! In addition, the parts for this compass are not as easily lost. Since
pencils can be changed, there is not an ongoing issue with constantly losing lead. The following is a link
to the compass that I am recommending. If students get a different kind, I cannot help if they are not
able to do constructions well.

***Special note for PreAlgebra: A calculator will be used very sparingly in this class. At this age,
students still need to use mental math as much as possible, especially multiplication facts. The
calculator may be used periodically if the computations involve difficult numbers, or if there are
calculator activities that I want to use in the textbook. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of
students knowing the multiplication facts.
