Group+5+Math+Studies

Hi there Math Studies and Kaust Diploma students,

I wish you all a relaxing and well deserved SUMMER HOLIDAY!

I am excited about our next 2 years learning the wonders of maths. So, take some time over the vacation to familiarize yourself with the syllabus, check your textbook for more detail and make a concerted effort to **master the mathematical vocabulary** related to the first few topics.

You all know that it is important to refresh those skills and concepts you have learned in previous grades as they form the foundation of our next journey. It will be to your advantage to work through these over the break, as we will not have time to reteach them in class next year. Be selective, master those sections that need attention, make notes of areas that you feel unsure of. I have attached a **Background Knowledge booklet** for you to work through as you desire.

We will be using the **Ti 84 plus or Ti 84 plus silver edition** over the next 2 years. Each student must have one for the first class. Use the attached guide to familiarize yourself with the features of this calculator. I know you all like to play with technology, so this will be great fun.

See you all on August 28th!!!!!!! Mrs. Harris
