Sometimes students think too much when they shouldn’t and not enough when they should. If each student has the following items with him or her each day, there’s no thinking required. Many thanks! Individual teachers may require additional supplies.
- Pencils
- Pens (black or blue; roller ball or razor point preferable to ball point)
- At least one .05 micron pen for technical drawing and geometry
- Pen and pencil case or box
- Lined paper (for taking notes; may be loose-leaf in 3-ring binder or spiral bound, dividers for different courses)
- Unlined paper-2 kinds: 1.) Typing or copy paper for essays and 2.) drawing paper; an 8.5 x 11″ drawing pad is good; students can punch holes at school if necessary.
- Binder or folder with pockets for handouts
- Manila folders for handing in assignments
- Assignment book or pad
- Ruler
- Compass (ex. “Circle Master”)
- Eraser (“Magic Rub” or equivalent; not the pink end of a pencil)
- Colored pencils (minimally a 12 color set!)
- Scientific calculator (includes logarithmic and trigonometric functions)
- Protractor
- 2 triangles (plastic): 30-3-6-90 degrees and 45-45-90 degrees
Optional but useful:
- Glue stick
- Scissors
- White-out
- Flash or thumb drive (useful for making sure typed homework is available in school)
- Graph paper
- Pencil sharpener
