  1. Welcome to Algebra 1 GT/Pre-AP • This is room 104. • My name is Mrs. Bollinger.

  2. “There is no such thing as a math gene” You are not good/bad at math because your parents were good/bad at math! Genetics has nothing to do with it!

  3. PreAP courses are designed to challenge motivated students and prepare them for success in college level course work in high school and in college. These courses typically move at a faster pace, are more academically challenging, and require more independent learning and homework than other courses.

  4. Profile of a Successful PreAP Student • Professes interest in the subject selected • Develops and maintains excellent study skills and habits • Carefully considers time commitments and balances academic load with family life or outside commitments • Asks questions and participates in class • Perseveres when faced with challenging material • Asks for assistance when needed • Plans and works ahead on long-term projects

  5. Exiting a PreAP Course • A student may exit Pre-AP courses during the first six-weeks grading period or at the end of the semester (regardless of student performance) and must have teacher and parent approval. Students and parents should have the benefit of knowing the six-weeks grade before making an exit decision. Students should consider exiting a Pre-AP course if they cannot maintain at least a “C” average. • *For more information on the PreAP program in Klein ISD please see section K on pages 3 and 4 of the Online Intermediate Student Handbook.
