I look forward to meeting you and working with you to grow your math knowledge. Even though this year may look and feel different from any other we have had before, I am excited about teaching and together we will find success with understanding, patience, and resilience.
Individual Google Classroom pages will be used throughout the year for student calendars, notes, classwork/assignments, feedback, resources, etc.
There is a Google Classroom for each class I teach, so contact me (email Mr. McKinney) for the code to be admitted to the class.
If you have any questions, please contact me. I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Math Resources

Algebra 2 and Trigonometry
Supply List for all classes
1. Graphing Calculator, preferably TI-84+ (TI-83 is okay also) *other calculators do work, but this is the one the book links to, and I am most familiar with
2. Binder specifically for math class to keep and organize materials, handouts, homework, etc.
3. Pencils/pens and lots of paper (also graph paper can be helpful).
