Math Assessments on Sept. 3 and Sept. 17: How to Study...

On Wednesday the 3rd of September, 4B students will take Geometry Test 1. On Wednesday the 17th of September, 4B students will take Geometry Test 2.

To study for test one, students should do the following:
*This test is about polygon terms, traits, symbols, lines, rays, line segments, and points.
1. Play Polygon Capture. This game will help with #4 below.
2. Review the Math Practice Book Pages work on lines, rays, line segments, parallel, perpendicular, and the like. These pages will be torn out of the MPB and put into our GREEN MATH study folders.
3. Use the TEMPLATE to draw each shape, name each shape, spell the name correctly, and use math terms to describe the shape. For example, if I draw the equilateral triangle from my template, then I will write "has 3 sides, has equal sides, has no right angles, has 3 angles which measure 60 degrees"...
4. Remember "symbols" for parallel, perpendicular, ray, line segment, line, and point... Our Writing About Math WAM notebook has notes for these symbols.
5. IXL grade 3 and grade 4 "geometry" games should be played, but SKIP area/perimeter, volume, and 3D topics. All students have their account as of Friday the 22nd.

To study for test two, students should do the following:

*This test is about symmetry and angles.
1. Review sheets in the GREEN MATH folder about symmetry.
2. Use the Khan Academy symmetry game: we will all be on Khan Academy by next Tuesday the 26th of Aug.
3. Play Angle Tangle and Advanced Angle Tangle. Students will have a protractor and the game to take home with them.
