Regents Exam Preparation
Since my last comment I have gotten some nice feeback from a few individuals. Mr. Alcarcon wrote about his need to figure out which sections would be the best to choose to skip and we talked further about this discussion in the "What Topics are Most Important?" post. Jeffrey Yanez mentioned these small regents review booklets that his school has been using that are only about $2 each. I know which ones he is talking about because I used to use the same type when I was in high school. I'm going to check around my school and talk to my principal, hopefully we may have some of these left over or I can have the students get their own. Sooophisticated mentioned trying to speak with the principal about any money that may be available in the budget for review materials or if there are any arround and Young Soc 139 also said to try the coach's office, book room or library. These are all great options that I will be taking full advantage of at my school. I thanked the commenters and asked Jeffrey Yanez if he found out where the books may be available. I also mentioned that I contacted Steve Sibol, the JMAP editor and publisher, about the latest regents exams and resources. I informed everyone that he has published the January Integrated Algebra exam in final form and also created these "regents books" which are a compilation of all the past 156 regents questions which you can sort by date, performance indicator, type and at random. I know that these latest resources will prove very useful for me and everyone else.
