Study Tips

· Since Unit Tests cannot be retaken, they must be approached with care.

· “Studying” for a test can be a very abstract (and often overwhelming) concept for a 6^th grader. However, many students have found the following steps useful in preparing for a unit test:

o Look over your Target Practices

§ Do I have a minimum score of a 3 on every Target Practice for the Unit?

· If not, STOP. Go back and relearn the target.

§ Did you review the learning targets?

§ What feedback did I receive from the teacher? Do I understand it?

o Look over the practice on Desmos. Is is all correct? What questions do you still have?

§ This is often the focus for what should be reviewed.

o Review your Tool Kit and Notes (in the back of the compbook).

§ This should have a basic outline of the skills needed for success on the unit test

o Have a conversation with your student about the math they have learned using the Desmos Practice as a guide

· If your student struggles with any of the above tips, please send them to us with a list of specific questions that they need clarification on.
