We just finished up our first unit on basic Geometric terms. Students received their results from their summative assessments during class on Friday and the grades have been entered into Infinite Campus. If a student had completed all of their formative work for the unit by the beginning of class on Thursday and is not satisfied with his or her grade on the Unit 1 Summative the student is eligible for a test retake. In order to take a retake, the following procedure must be followed:
- Students must make an appointment with Mrs. Kamenar to make corrections on the original assessment.
- Students will receive personalized extra practice to reinforce the skills previously not mastered.
- Students must complete the test retake by Friday, September 19th. A student can choose to retake one learning target or both learning targets.
- Please note that the grade earned on the retake will be entered into Infinite Campus, even if the retake grade is lower than the original assessment.
Chapter 2: Reasoning and Proofs
We have already moved into our second chapter on reasoning and proofs. This will be a very quick unit ending with a summative assessment on Friday, September 19th. This unit is designed to get students thinking about logical arguments. This will form the basis of the work we will do with Geometric proof throughout the year.
We'll start by relating proofs to something students already know how to do: solving Algebraic equations. Then we'll start to apply our knowledge to proofs that involve the different types of angle relationships we've discovered so far in class.
