In the short term, students are being encouraged to complete home nugget #24 (if they had not done so prior to the break) in anticipation of their last assessment of the 4th term. The quiz will cover the topics of:
- equations and inequalities for circles
- slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines
- finding midpoints of line segments
all of which are covered in Investigation 1 of The Shapes of Algebra.
Next on the horizon are the 7th grade Math MCAS scheduled for mid to late May. We have been preparing for these state assessments for a number of months and students should feel a great deal of confidence as they prepare to face them.
Finally, the fourth term draws to a close on May 2, signaling the last marking period of the school year which extends from May to June. The exam schools also traditionally assign a final exam which counts as its own marking term. It is the average of the five marking periods and the final exam which determines the students final course grade for the school year.
