Extra Credit Opportunity for Mr. Golden During Winter Break

Final exams are quickly approaching! Are you ready? Final exams for first semester will cover chapters 1-5 for Alg2/trig, and chapters 1-4 and 6 for Algebra 1. This is A LOT of information, so studying earlier and frequently will help you be better prepared. I will give you extra credit for completing some of this studying over break. Here’s how:

Choose a chapter we have studied, and using your notes, examples, book, and homework assignments, create a pamphlet ( a paper folded into 3 parts-think of a travel brochure) of important information from that chapter. Pretend as if you are tutoring someone in that chapter. You want to include formulas, examples of different types of problems, and important steps in solving problems. You should also make it look appealing as well. (Use colors, pictures, diagrams, etc….)

You may do as many of the first five chapters/units as you want, each worth 3 extra credit points. That is a total of 15 possible extra credit points. I will split the points evenly between your quiz, test, and homework grades. For example, if you do three chapters, you would earn 9 points: 3 to test, 3 to quiz, and 3 to homework. Any questions over break, feel free to email me at eagolden@cps.edu Have fun and be safe!!!!
