     The class I have chose to write about is Precalculus Honors with Mr. Ben-Nun. From the beginning of the year up to now, I have learned a lot in this class. My expectations at the beginning of the year were to use Algebra II and some geometry as a basis for Calculus or AP Calculus next year and this is what we are doing. We have reviewed material from last year and have used that material to learn new subject matters.
     Technology plays a big role in my Precalculus class. We must use our computers at home every week to complete three Think Through Math lessons on lms.thinkthroughmath.com and lessons that Mr. Ben-Nun has recommended on https://www.khanacademy.org/. Not only are there lessons on Khan Academy, there are also videos that can teach a lesson you may not be familiar with. The lessons on both of these websites typically have to do with what we have went over in class that week. Also, some topics could be helpful with the HSPA. I enjoy these two aspects about the class. Think Through Math and Khan Academy are two uses of technology in Precalculus. Here is an example of a Khan Academy video:

     In conclusion, I have learned a lot in Precalculus Honors so far this year with Mr. Ben-Nun and I expect to learn much more throughout the duration of the year. Technology is a big factor in our class and I like that about the class. Think Through Math and Khan Academy are both very helpful websites for the class. They help everyone improve on the topics we work on in class. Technology is a very prominent and useful feature of my Precalculus class and helps us all to learn and improve on our skills.
