"I need a tutor who really understands precalculus."
"Hello, I can help with your precalculus needs."
"Okay, but do you *really* understand it."
"Er... yes?"
"Prove to me that you really understand it."
"Hmm... okay. Imagine a right triangle...."
"A right triangle? OMG! You're a genius! Tutor me! Tutor me, now, and forever!"

I have a file of note on conics... I called it "Conics (Prealgebra)"
WTF prealgebra??????????????????????
Conics are not seen in prealgebra.
I probably meant precalculus and my brain farted.
It's almost "e day"!!! (2.7)
Get ready for Friday with this blog post: "Exploring e" gives some ideas for learning about the Euler number in math class.

I'm also searching for resources on the web. It is really great when I run into a syllabus that does not have any class content in it. Oh, you got loads of class rules, but who knows what the class actually covers.
I'm also realizing that the US is as bad as Canada when it comes to ensuring consistency. I find Precalculus syllabi that don't include limits.
Lol wut???
Isn't this a Pre*calculus* class?!
I guess universities here have to do the same thing that École Polytechnique de Montréal had to do when I went there. The first year was designed to equalize the student population. I was bored out of my skull because the classes I had prior to entering covered the necessary material.

Does anyone have an online and free Precalculus course that they especially like and is tutor-friendly?
I have a student who might ask for a full Precalculus class. I'm not sure yet.
Note, that I do know about Khan Academy's course. That's the one I used for review.
(Alternatively, if you know a tutor-friendly website with free math courses, let me know.)
If any of my #ClassroomMath #MTBoS friends here are using TI technology...
Join me and @MathTechCoach for a free webinar tonight (7pm CDT) "Kick Start Your Geometry Class with TI Technology"
See how to use your TI84 & TInspire for #Geometry class & beyond! #Algebra #Precalculus

Teaching right triangle trig? Check out this reference chart I created for my precalculus students last year while we were reviewing the trigonometry they learned in geometry class.
