#math 3

[rain-anonymous]

Do you know how to do math for this,,,,, ..,.,,.im so tired and i googled it but i still have to 'show my work' fucufckckk

Ok so this is basically a fucking nightmare because they're specifically trying to make this confusing

When two negatives are next to each other, it turns into a positive, so you go from

2 - (-6) - (-7) - 2

To

2 + 6 + 7 - 2

That's the best I can do for showing your work because you're really only changing the signs

Chat I got a five on my math 3 EOC

Had to make a Unit Circle for school!

Give it your 100% honest rating. I made it in a little over an hour the night it was due.😅

I’m a freshman with a not so good algebra background, how can I still get an A in Math 3? I heard there was no textbook and I have Ebrahim.

Response from Padma:

I don't think any of us have taken Math 3, but it's definitely doable! There are a lot of resources online for Math 3/Algebra II that you can look at. I think?? you have to do Aleks to build your Algebra background at the start of the year anyway so you should be fine. You got this anon! :)

Are math 3 makeups harder than the regular test?

Response from Evans:

Most makeups are harder than regular tests. I don't know if this applies to all TJ math classes, but it's likely.

How hard is math 3 as a sophomore? What can I do to prepare? My algebra is a little rusty, so what topics should I focus in on to get an A?

Response from Evans:

Math 3 as a sophomore is definitely manageable as far as math classes at TJ go! I'm not sure exactly what's on the syllabus, but major topics like polynomials (factoring, division, etc), complex numbers, rational functions, exponents and logarithms, etc. would be good to look at.

so i took math 2.5 last year and i'm worried about if ill be able to do good in math 3 and math 4. what are my chances of getting an a if i study a reasonable amount and do the alg 2 course on khan academy over the summer? also, how hard is it to get an a in math 5 summer school? tia

Response from Shacklebolt:

Very reasonable! The plans you’ve outlined are excellent! I’d also recommend using Mathspace for studying (even though it’s cumbersome sometimes) because that helped me immensely in Math 3 and 4.

Response from Rita:

Summer Math 5 is said to be easier than Math 5 in school, since it’s the only thing you’re thinking about, and it’s also helpful as it’s closer in time to taking Calculus than if you had taken Math 5 second sem. This depends on teacher, though.

Hi, rising freshman here. I'm taking Math 3 and RS1 in freshman year, and I think I'm a little behind, my classmates are taking math 4/5, and rs1 over the summer. Is there a placement test to test out of math3? How do I take it? Also, are there any other ways to somewhat catch up? I aim to takt BC in 10th

Response from Rita:

There’s no Math 3 skip test but I think you could take the Math 4 skip test and take Math 5 over the summer in order to take BC sophomore year? I think that they might not offer skip tests anymore though according to the FCPS website so this would definitely be a question to bring to your counselor. tjhsst.fcps.edu/node/1973

You’re not really “behind” though—it’s more average. You’re probably where a solid majority of your class is (RS1+Math 3 freshman year).

You can show that you handle very advanced courses at TJ in subjects other than math—TJ has a TON of CS electives (seriously, like 5 or 6 years worth...), if you do summer chem then you can do the AP Bio/AP Chem mix, and then on to DNA or Neuro or Orgo before senior year. You can take BC junior year concurrently with AP Physics and do Optics senior year. You can even go far (AP and level 5) in foreign language if that’s your thing. There’s a lot of course opportunities at TJ and being where you are in math does not prohibit you from “catching up” in that regard.
