Thank you for all the effort you continue to put into this course.
I am hopeful that you will gain in your algebra math skills and will continue with a Pre calculus, Trigonometry , Math 105 foundations, Statistics, Math 113 for elementary teachers. This course will give you a foundation in mathematics vocabulary and concepts. The graphing calculator supports the algebraic techniques that you will practice.

We have raised three daughters and one son who are now grown and live in New Hampshire, Maine, New York City and Connecticut . My husband Tony is also a Magician and I have been assisting him in his magic shows for the past thirty years... perhaps you have heard of "The Great Leone".

She is involved in drama, music and voiceovers in the commercial realm. Our daughter Carey and her husband Michael live in Maine. They have two sons, Jack and Thomas.
