What's Going On? January 13th through January 17th

Final Project Presentations

This week, students will be presenting their final projects.  For this, students have created a 10-15 minute review activity to help the class prepare for a learning target on the semester exam.  Students also created a "one-stop shopping" document to summarize all of the content for the target and wrote an 8 question homework assignment with an answer key that will serve as homework for the class.

Semester Exam
Our exam will be held on Wednesday from 9:30-11:00.  DO NOT BE LATE!!!!  During our exam time, students will be required to complete the exam sections covering the following learning targets:
  • 1d: Properties of Parallel Lines
  • 1e: Proving Triangles Congruent
  • 2a: Writing Equations of Lines
Students will also choose a minimum of two additional learning targets:
  • 1a: Basic Geometric Vocabulary
  • 1b: Logical Reasoning
  • 1c: Constructions
  • 2c: Quadrilaterals
  • 3a: Segment and Angle Addition Postulate
  • 3c: Solving for Missing Measures
For the exam, students should bring something to write with and a calculator.  Students planning on completing the 1c section of the exam on constructions should also bring a compass and ruler.  Students are also permitted to bring a "cheat sheet".  This "cheat sheet" can be as large as an 8 1/2" by 11" piece of paper and can be handwritten on both sides.  Students can include formulas, definitions, sample problems, etc. on this sheet.  The "cheat sheet" will be handed in at the end of the exam period.  Students are expected to complete the exam by the end of the specified exam period.


Extra Help
In the mornings during exam week, I will be available to work with students and answer any last minute questions.  Please stop by to get your questions answered!


January Exam Schedule

Please note: buses will run at their regularly scheduled time.  Students are not required to be at school during the review/conferencing time.  This is an excellent time for students to get some extra help from teachers prior to their exams.
