Today Students will review for the test, which will be on Wednesday. The first part of class, students will take a short multiple choice quiz. This will allow for myself and the students to see which concepts they need more practice on. There will be a 2 review worksheets, which are book tests, that they will work on in class. My test questions will be taken from these sheets. At home, you can review some of the concepts by watching the videos from the last few posts.
Extra Credit to be posted in Comments section:
Go back through your notes and find a concept that you still may be a little confused on. Post a question so I can answer it through Comments and at the beginning of class Wednesday before we begin the test.

2/19 Applied Geometry - Developing Formulas for Area of Triangles and Parallelograms
Today we will be working with the area formulas for triangles and parallelograms. The students should already be familiar with the formulas, we will be explaining where they come from today. In addition to the easier calculation problems, students will also be doing some algebra to find the parts of a figure when the area is known or when the perimeter is known. There will also be some areas that include variables as will as numbers. Seen above is an SAT/ACT math problem involving the area of a triangle that deals with more than just calculating the area based on the formula. Our homework problems are not quite this involved, but they are along the same lines.

Worksheets 3,4,& 5
