Here's a link to Desmos' Scientific Calculator

Our 8^th grade math team has collaborated to take you guys on a journey to Algebra I. Let’s get ready for high school!! During your first nine weeks, you all will cover some familiar terms like functions, input, output, function rules, and equations. Sounds familiar right? Yes indeed. Khan Academy is a great resource to use for an understanding of a topic with videos and extra practice questions. Khan Academy has an Algebra section too (sign up to keep track of what you done): https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra
