Resource - Khan Academy We may do Khan Academy occasionally
(depending on lab availability), but I have assignments listed for every chapter.
Online assignments that are checked for accuracy as you go
Videos and “hints” provided to aid students (and parents)
Khan Academy is a GREAT resource when you are helping your student with math homework. Just go to www.khanacademy.com and search for the topic.
