Welcome to another edition of...what's on the test! You and all other lucky contestants (i.e. everyone in Geometry) have embarked on an amazing journey, and have learned so much. So much! And here we are, halfway through, ready to take stock of our knowledge.
Here is a list of possible topics that you should be assuming are on the midterm. Lists are labelled with the time that I added the information. I may add more as time goes on--just trying to make sure I cover as much as possible for y'all.
Saturday, March 29:
Radicals
simplifying
approximating to the nearest thousandth
distance formula
midpoint formula
plotting a shape to a grid and naming it
triangles by angles and sides
quadrilaterals by name
naming a shape by the indicated information
finding angles and lengths using a protractor and ruler
names of angles with a transversal
know when these are congruent and when they are supplementary
find angles and set up equations using a digram with a transversal
name angles given a diagram
bisecting lines and angles
set up equations using this information
be able to find values based upon this information
polygons
be able to draw a specified polygon
find a single interior angle
find the sum of the interior angles
triangle congruency
write a proof if given the rules sheet as a guideline
you are not expected to have every rule we know memorized. AT THE SAME TIME you should be comfortable using them. For example, you should know what 'reflexive', 'if parallel then AIA are congruent', and 'vertical pairs' do as soon as I say them.
give the congruency statement of two objects (write the sides in proper order)
give the proper theorem for two triangles (ASA, SSS, etc. etc.)
use triangles to solve problems
exterior angles,
isosceles triangles
Conditional Statements and their converse, inverse, and contrapositive
Make and understand figures
Draw figures according to the directions (draw Plane K intersecting line AB at point C)
Know what things we can and cannot assume about a figure (is A on plane P?)
Transformations
rotate, translate, reflect and dilate your way to success
give a series of rules to get a shape from one place to another.
