Welcome:

The intent of this site is to provide some information on high school mathematics to students, parents, teachers, and other interested parties. Some general information can be found on this page; individual course information can be found at the left.

While this site has existed for a while, it does change often. I really hope to make some major updates over the summer months before my move to RHS. Please consider this place a work in progress, so stop by occasionally for updates. Any suggestions for this page would be greatly appreciated.

Check out my tutorial on statistical regression using TI-InterActive!. I've also put together a document that shows how to create scatter plots and find lines of best fit using Excel

Here's a color-coded copy of the unit circle. Need a blank unit circle to practice those speed drills? If so, click here.

Some resources here require Word, Excel, and/or PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs on your computer, you can install its free viewer to open and print files. Click here to search and download it.

Contact Information:

As I am in the midst of a transition from KMHS to RHS, school-based email will most likely be inconvenient for those trying to get in touch with me. Please feel free to use my new personal address:

mrdeck@bellsouth.net

At the present time, I do not have a school related phone number. I will update that information as it becomes available.

Office Hours:

Seeing as school is officially over for the summer, I no longer have office hours! I will post that information once the fall semester starts.
