Summer Help Sessions

UPDATES POSTED ON 7/5: The help session originally scheduled for Tuesday July 18 will instead take place on Wednesday July 19.  The predetermined topics for Precalculus sessions have been eliminated in favor of precalculus students notifying Mr. Hoffman at fhoffman@rvgs.k12.va.us or which topics they need assistance with. These updates are included below in red text.

Live summer help sessions via Teams will be provided at 10:00 AM for Algebra 2 and 11:00 AM for Precalculus on the Tuesdays listed below. You can ask for help on specific topics that are giving you trouble on the summer assignment or ask for a refresher of a skill prior to trying that section of the summer assignment. The sessions will not run for a set amount of time and will end when student questions are answered, so students should show up at the start of the help session if they have questions. If you have any questions about the summer help sessions or you need additional assistance, please email Mr. Hoffman at fhoffman@rvgs.k12.va.us

This radical and exponent rules handout may be helpful for you. Note that you should know these rules and not need to look them up during the school year, but this is a good refresher if you haven't learned them fully. Study this if you need help getting these rules down. 

Math Skills Help Videos

RVGS math teachers have recorded a series of skills help videos that will assist you in being prepared to enter Algebra 2 or Precalculus and while completing your summer assignment (students entering Calculus should contact Mr. Levy if they need access to help resources). Regardless of whether you are having trouble with a given topic, you are highly encouraged to watch all the videos for the math class you are taking next year to make sure you have a proper understanding of the topic. These resources are particularly important if you are having difficulty with a topic.
