What's Going On? January 15th through January 19th (EXAM WEEK)

Exam Week

It's exam week.  Please remember that we will follow a "Monday-style" schedule on Monday and Tuesday.  Our exam schedule will run Wednesday through Friday.  Please be sure to be ON TIME for all of your exams.  Students must attend exam periods for all class, including student aide classes.  Students are not required to attend the "Reviewing/Conferencing" times, but that would be a great time to get some extra help!  Additionally, students are not required to attend during the "Make-Up" exam time on Friday afternoon.



Plan for the Week

On Monday, our final three groups will present their review activities for the class.  Students will see "Semester Project" in Infinite Campus and will only receive one summative grade for the one target corresponding to their project.  The other targets might show up as "missing" in Infinite Campus, but don't worry about this.

On Tuesday, we will go over any last-minute questions regarding the exam.  Our exam will take place at 9:30 on Wednesday morning.  DO NOT BE LATE!!!!  I will be at school starting at 7am if students would like to come in to get some extra help before the exam.

Semester Exam
Students will complete somewhat of a "choose your own adventure" exam.  Students will be required to complete an exam of the following three learning targets:

  • 1d: Proofs with lines and angles
  • 1e: Proving triangles congruent.
  • 2a: Writing equations of lines.
Additionally, students will choose at least two more targets for the exam.  The choices are:

  • 1a: I can precisely define Geometric terms
  • 1b: I can use the basic language of logic
  • 1c: Constructions
  • 2c: I can prove theorems about quadrilaterals
  • 3a: I can use the segment and angle addition postulate
  • 3c: Solving for missing measurements
Students may choose to take additional sections of the exam, but must finish within our given exam time.  

Materials Needed for the Exam
Students should bring a pencil, calculator, compass and a straight edge (if completing the constructions portion of the exam).  Additionally, students can create a "cheat sheet" to use during the exam.  This can be a computer-size sheet of paper (8 1/2" by 11"), front and back.  Students can choose to include definitions, formulas, sample problems, anything at all!  At the end of the exam period, students will turn in their cheat sheet.
