The best way we got here to get some practice and measure one’s progress.

This is a course of study on natural growth and e. The process involves an understanding of percents, interest, and multiplying in general. There are not many things one really does need to memorize to be proficient at math but times tables really are on. You don’t have to be the fastest but getting through those in your way can help greatly. Clearly, we are in the process of working on this. Comment or contact us if you are wanting such. That is a way to prioritize getting materials going.
From definitions to function. An intro to logic and programs.
Definitions and the way the details work is important. The more one understands them, the more they can do. Sets, notations, and some other basic principles work are all one really needs to do a whole lot. Boolean logic is how computers traditionally work. Things are either off and on.
Educators–This learning path provides the resources for a nice base computer science unit. It is a work in progress but it should more than suffice now. The nature of the games and tasks involved provide good measures of competence.
Start at the hard part.
This is a study of algebra centered around a proof of the quadratic formula. Demonstrating and understanding this proof is an effective measure of much of what high school algebra covers.
Quadratics are the formulae for parabolas so we also get to throw some fun stuff around.
Educators: Linked within are NASA materials with EOC type questions.
