Remember that the diagrams are missing from this sheet. Also the properties of isosceles triangle and cyclic quadrilaterals are not on the sheet either.
You will have your vocabulary and your gray sheet for the quiz!

Self Assessment Suggestions!

Hi Folks,

After reading over your self assessments (great job on those btw) there were some good suggestions that you gave for both me and you to work on.  I want to post some of those so that we can share our great ideas:)

Suggestions for Me (the teacher):
  • Before the accountability checks review everything as a class.
  • Make sure the questions are clear.
  • A few more opportunities to practice 
  • Less practice 
  • Go over all the questions
  • Give less alone work, more group work and NO homework.
  • More practice opportunities but less questions, I procrastinate at home 
  • More time to work
  • Give more examples
Suggestions for you (the students):
  • Ask for help when you don't understand.
  • Be able to solve problems the way I am used to not being forces to keep stuff in fractions
  • Practice more and go over assignments
  • Remember the steps of the procedures.
  • Try harder to understand
  • Use a calculator
  • Stay after school for help
  • Get Ms. Scallion to explain it again
  • Pay attention more
  • Go on the blog and look at the notes
  • Try not to get distracted
  • Check my work
  • Start doing my homework
  • practice at home even when I don't have homework.
  • Ask a super smart classmate
So it looks like we cam up with a few strategies to try in order to improve our work...both mine and yours.
Have a good four day weekend and remember to get your homework done.

Cheers
Ms. Scallion
