6/17  Long Block Review: Mixed Practice problems

6/18  Math Final Exam 8:30 - 10:30 am

         B-Block room:  166       F-Block room:  164 

         Remember to bring pencils, eraser, calculator (and maybe extra batteries?), a stomach full of

         healthy breakfast and a brain refreshed by a good night's sleep.  And your book.  

      

         You will return after the test to our classroom in the math building.  I will be in room 816  

         from 11:00 until 12:00 on Wednesday and Thursday.  Bring them by on one of these two days.

6/23  Make-up final in the morning, all blocks for 25 minutes each

Review for the Final

Your final will cover all of the material from the year.  We will spend 7 class periods reviewing (including the double block day on Tuesday, 6/17).  You will be able to use your formula sheet of the first half of the year that you made for the mid-year cumulative exam.  You will also be able to use a second formula sheet that covers the second half of the year.  You may want to create this as we review.

Day 1 (6/02 or 6/05) Circles and Transformations

Day 2 (6/06) Surface Area, Volume, Similarity and Trigonometry

Day 3 (6/09) Proofs (circles, similarity, and quadrilaterals) (typo-corrected version of handout)

All about Circles

The next unit is going to build on the initial work we did with circles.  We will be in Chapter 8.  The chapter starts with geometric facts about circles and ends with proofs about circles.  In the middle we will do some algebra with circles so we will cover circles from all different branches of math.
