School-wide progress reports are being handed out today in second period.
Because of the snow days, our large unit test has been pushed to the very end of the six weeks. In order to provide the students with the opportunity to retest and correct before the end of the six weeks, we will be having a small test on Tuesday and Wednesday covering sections 5-8 (Special Right Triangles) and 8-4 (Angles of Elevation and Depression). There will be no trigonometry on the test.
If a student made below a 70 on the 4A Triangle Similarity Test, they may retest Friday (2/7 before or after school) or Monday (2/10 after school). We are excited to provide the on-line Apex tutorials for reteach so students who still need to master the material can view on-line videos, tutorials and quizzes to help them prepare. I have already enrolled all students in the Geometry Tutorials course. Their student id starting with an "s" is both the username and the password for their first login. You will be prompted to create your own password after logging in for the first time.
Go to the Unit: Congruence and Similarity at www.apexvs.com and complete the Triangle Similarity and Similarity of Other Polygons sections before the retest. I will be able to check progress online. I will be looking at your success rate on the "Test It" portion of each section. You should do all 4 portions: "Learn It, Try It, Review It and Test It" to maximize your chances of success on your retest.
If a grade below a 70 was made on 4A Spiral, only complete and correct corrections need to be submitted to raise the grade to a 70. I am happy to assist students with corrections during tutorials if they need assistance. Incomplete or incorrect work will be returned for completion. Corrections are due by 2/7 Friday.
