Analytic Geometry week of 5/11/15

Big week this week!  Monday & Tuesday, students will be participating in Boot Camp, a study tactic wherein they will be switching among the geometry teachers for a high-intensity review session focused on a different unit with each teacher.  Students will experience 2 sessions per day, for two days.  Then on Wednesday & Thursday, it's EOC time!  Our state assessment time has arrived - students will take this test online, in a computer lab (students with 3rd period will eat A lunch, THEN report to the testing site!).  Friday will be the introduction of our PBL, as well as the opportunity to re-take Unit 7 test in class for any students who needed it.

Almost there!

Analytic Geometry week of 5/4/15

This week, we will be reviewing for the EOC (which is Wednesday 5/13 and Thursday 5/14) as well as the final exam (which is either Wednesday 5/20 or Thursday 5/21, depending on which period you take geometry).  I can't believe we're already at this point of the year, but it's not quite over yet!  This week is the final push.  Below, you will find the different pages for reviewing all the different units & topics we have learned this semester, as well as a few more resources & questions provided by the state to help us prepare for the EOC.

One more opportunity my students have this week - it is Amnesty Week in Mrs. Mackie's geometry class... if you are a parent of one of my students and you don't know what that means, please ask your child!  And if you are one of my students, please do't forget to sign up BEFORE the unit you need!  And remember Friday is the absolute LAST DAY for this, so plan ahead!

Thursday: More triangle congruence

Friday: Even more triangle congruence, and proving that the shortcuts are true!

*The test for Unit 1 is scheduled for next Friday, January 23!  A study guide will be provided in class as it gets closer.

Analytic Geometry - Spring Semester Schedule

So here's what the Analytic Geometry teachers (thank you, Ms. Milani!) have set as the schedule for students to expect this semester.  This is so we can try to fit in everything before the EOC in May.  It is obviously subject to a few changes and tweaks as necessary as the semester progresses, but is being posted to give you a heads up (and so you can see - we don't have a moment to waste)!

Please click below, and I look forward to seeing everyone in class for a great spring!
