There is an assignment on my Geometry Google Classroom for you to complete by Friday, April 10. This assignment is in preparation for next week’s Chapter 8 test and sets forth the guidelines for you to follow for this and all subsequent tests. If you don’t see the assignment or can’t access this assignment let me know because this is also a test of whether I am using Google Classroom correctly since I’ve never used it before.

Given that we will not be returning to the classroom this school year unless conditions improve dramatically I will continue to post daily Bellwork, Video Lessons and/or Practices. I will discontinue PSAT/SAT questions for now since you will not be taking these tests this Spring. But you may be taking them in the Fall.

You will be tested over Chapter 8 when we return from Spring Break, hopefully some time during the week of April 13. I’m not sure yet how this will occur as I explore all the possibilities available. I will make further announcements regarding this test as I do more research on how to best give you this assessment. Click on the link below for a copy of the Chapter 8 Review:

Chapter 8 Review

This will be followed eventually by a test over Chapter 10. We will then continue to cover as much of the curriculum that was set forth in the Spring 2020 Syllabus as time allows. If you don’t have a copy of the syllabus one can be found on this blog by clicking on the heading for the Class Syllabus near the top of this page

In case you don’t have a scientific or graphing calculator at home I’ve located what appears to be a useful online calculator that you can use when doing trig problems. The link to the online scientific calculator can be found in the Helpful Math Links heading of this blog near the top of this page

There is no video lesson today. Click on the following link for Practice #15 which reviews what we’ve covered so far in Chapter 10. Due to the size of this practice it is linked to my Google Drive just like the video lessons so you’ll have to sign in with your Dearborn Schools account: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ry-_NUdFTfCFrnF4IryKNGTATQ2vRonQ

Remember, you’ll be tested over Chapter 10 at some point soon after we return from Spring Break. I won’t be posting daily lessons next week but check occasionally for any further information about the test or anything else that transpires.
