Geometry Study Tips

        Learning how to study for a math test or quiz can be a challenge for many students. The class will spend time during the first few weeks of school going over ways to study for a math test or quiz.
        As shown earlier, the math binder is an excellent tool to use. Students can start by reviewing their notes and then move on to the homework section. The quickest way to use the homework section is to look for assignments with a lot of colored pen on them. This is a good indication that this section needs to be reviewed. During each chapter, there may be a short quiz. This should also be kept in the binder and is an excellent review for a test.
        The book is also a great tool to use for studying. Within each lesson in the book are important definitions and examples with explanations. Students should look over each section and check themselves for understanding. They can do this by completing a few odd problems from the section. Students can then check the answers in the back of the book. Because much of the first semester of geometry focuses on proof and they can be rather lengthy, the book does not publish answers for proofs in the back of the book. Students should see Mrs. Wilmot for answers to proofs or even numbered problems.
        At the end of each chapter is a summary and review with answers to some of the problems also located in the back of the book. Students should be aware that we may not cover every section in a chapter so there may be problems in these areas that they do not know how to answer. Students should ask the teacher which problems would be good to review.
