I gave feedback on your projects today using the following codes:

1- You did not use a ruler for some or all of your letters

2- One or more of your letters can not be decomposed into rectangles, parallelograms,  triangles, and/or squares.

3- Some vertices are not on the intersection of 2 lines on the grid.

Below is a student example:

Students have a review packet (paper clipped in their binder) with several review tools for their District Test tomorrow. Also, they should review their notes in their ISN (interactive notebooks) and the notes and practice sheets in their binders.

Topics include

1- Graphing and distance on the coordinate plane

2- Side lengths of polygons

3- Attributes of polygons

4- Area of polygons

5- Area of polygons using decompose strategy

Our second Geometry test is this Friday. Students will be creating a strategy card in class to guide their review.  The topics that will be covered include:

1. Decomposing to calculate area
2. Deducing measurements to calculate area
3. Plotting vertices of polygons on the coordinate plane
4. Calculating area of polygons on the coordinate Plane

TOMORROW is the deadline for your summer learning assignments. Below are iLearn instructions for the 4 quizzes that were required:

1. Click on this link: https://moodle.dearbornschools.org/login/
2. Log in with your username/password (student number and the same password used for your Chromebooks)
3. Click “My Classes”
4. Stout Summer Learning 2016
5. Scroll down to where it says “6th Grade” and complete the 4 quizzes (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division)

These quizzes are based on completion, not based on score.
