​USA TEST PREP

All of my students are REQUIRED to have an account at USA Test Prep to access their ACT Exam Math Practice assignments. Use your existing account from last year or the one you've made this year for your other classes.

Then, you must "JOIN a Class" in your account to add my class and get access to what I will assign. You will also see these Practice Tests listed in your grade book, along with a Test Corrections assignment.

After taking a practice test, go back and review the explanations for each question, and check out their study helps. You will then submit by Webmail your error explanations and answer corrections for 10 of your missed questions for additional points in your grade book.


*If you forget your log in information, let me know, and I can look it up for you!

ABOUT ME
This is my sixth year teaching high school math with ​Nevada Connections Academy, and many more years that I've lived in Las Vegas. 
​Welcome to our school family!

CLASS INFORMATION

How Can I raise my grade?
  • Submit reworks of ANY question on ANY Test or Quiz at ANY time during the semester. Yes, this includes multiple choice!
  • Test questions will make the most difference in your grade.
  • Quick Checks are not eligible for reworks.
  • Reworks MUST show the work! Write out the solving steps for how to get the corrected answer. You don't need to type these!
  • Send in by Webmail a picture or copy of your work, and please label it with which assessment and which question(s).
  • For graph matching questions, you can include a screen shot of the graph using Desmos and tell which key points you used to identify the match.
  • No, there is no extra credit.
Portfolio Projects
  • Projects for Algebra 2 and Precalculus will be listed as custom entries at the top of your gradebook for this class.
  • Projects for Algebra 2 and Precalculus will follow my custom instructions as found on this website. Do NOT do what is given in the course lessons. 
  • Honors Precalculus A: The STEAM Project is a semester long project that is introduced in Unit 1. Please follow the directions as given. However, you will be submitting the parts by Webmail according to my custom schedule.​
  • AP® Calculus: We will be doing some of the Portfolios as given in the course, and some custom projects.
Calculators
  • ​​You will need a graphing calculator for this class.
  • An online one is provided for you in your course. It does both calculations and graphing.
  • I recommend you bookmark the link:   DESMOS 

If you choose to also buy a calculator, be sure to read the instructions to learn all that it can do for you!
  • For Algebra 2 and Precalculus, any calculator labeled "scientific" will be sufficient for calculations, but you will still need Desmos for graphing.
  • If you go on to take AP® Calculus, you will then want to get one of the approved handheld graphing calculators. 
May I use my notes on tests?
Yes! You may use your notes, my notes from this site, and the Desmos graphing calculator when doing your assessments. But, do not use the internet,  of course.
​
The exceptions is AP® Calculus. These assessments (like the AP® exam) are closed book and closed notes, and sometimes closed calculator.
What is the ACT EXAM? AND DO I HAVE TO TAKE IT?
  • An ACT Exam score is requested by many college applications.
  • In Nevada, taking this exam (with the Writing section) is a requirement for your high school diploma.
  • NCA will administer this exam during spring semester to all third year high school students and any seniors who have not taken the exam.
  • Note: You will not be required to take the SAT exam.
How Can I get help with my lessons?
  • Check out the resources and recordings on this website.
  • Come to  LiveLesson and ask your math questions.
  • Book a call with me at jpattersonmath.youcanbook.me and we can use the LiveLesson whiteboard to go over your questions.
