Wanted: Highschool Math Textbooks Grade 8-12

[yoko*]

Does anyone by any chance happen to have highschool math textbooks that they are no longer using that they could preferably give or lend to me?

My reason? I volunteer at a youth jail and one of the things I've signed up for is math tutoring for the kids there. However, it's my 5th year out of highschool and I can't for the life of me remember such simple things as trigonometric equations. I'm pretty useless as a tutor until I can refresh how to do these things again and I also want to get a feel for highschool methodology.

I'm also looking into loaning from libraries but having the freedom to access a book at any time would be more ideal rather than constantly tracking books, checking out and checking back in because I'm going to be very busy come july.

I'm not expecting much of a turn out from this but I thought it would be worth a shot, as we've all been through highschool before.

Thanks,
yoko

Thanks for the offer/statement/reflection! I do appreciate your response. I just realized today though that I probably won't be needing math 12 so much because I'm taking pre-calculus (a course that is equivalent to math 12) in university this July & just picked up the textbooks for it today. If it weren't for that, I'd definitely be taking you up on that offer.

p.s. thx ms wellbelove / thx anyways chris ;)

This page has helped me tremendously in the past with my calculus courses. I'm not sure how good it is at basic math but take a look anyway.

i work at a library and if you talked to the librarian and explained your situation there wouldn't be a problem taking some books out for an extended period of time. check it out.
