Moving Straight Ahead Test

Preparation Guide for

Moving Straight Ahead Unit Test This Week - Friday

Essential Learnings - students should know how to:

• Translate information about linear relationships given a table, a graph, or an equation to one of the other forms.

• Solve problems and make decisions about linear relationships using the information given in tables, graphs, and equations.

Additionally, students should be able to:

• Construct tables, graphs and symbolic equations.
• Recognize linear relationships
• Solve an equation for an unknown.
• Find x or y when you substitute in the other value in an equation.
• Find the slope of a line given two points on a line or given an equation.
• Find the point of intersection of two lines given a graph, a table or two equations.
• Find y-intercept when given an equation.
• Be able to use and understand the vocabulary terms we have learned in class such as linear relationship, the point of intersection, y-intercept, slope, coefficient, rise, run, horizontal, vertical, coordinate pair, etc.

Focus questions/ problems - students should study by reviewing & redoing the following:

• The packet with 20 practice problems solving for x.
• These specific sections from the Moving Straight Ahead book; Problem 1.2, Problem 1.3, Problem 3.4, Problem 3.5 & Problem 4.2.

Stretching and Shrinking Unit Assessment

Study Guide for Stretching & Shrinking Unit Test

Assessment will be on Thursday, February 15th.

Essential Learnings:

• Apply coordinate rules to stretch or shrink shapes and then plot them.
• Understand ways that stretching or shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeter and area.

Specific Skills:

• Draw shapes on coordinate grids and use coordinate rules to stretch (x, y), shrink and move the shapes.
• Determine the way that stretching and shrinking a figure affects lengths, angle measures, perimeters, and areas.

• Identify similar polygons and use scale factor and side length ratios to prove similarity between polygons.

• Calculate scale factor of two similar shapes and find measures of angles in similar polygons.
• Apply relationship of scale factor to perimeter and area.
• Use the properties of similarity to find distances and heights that you can’t measure.
• Use specific vocabulary appropriately, use the terms we have learned and discussed in class - specific vocabulary is posted in the classrooms as well as on the Math Blog.

Material to Review:

1. Review and redo problems from the unit Check-ins, Checks for Understanding, warm up problems, in-class practice sheets.
2. Problems from the text: Problem 2.2 (pages 30 & 31), page 32 the definition of similar (the two bullet points under the bold word), Problem 2.3 (pages 34 & 35), Problem 3.1 (page 52), Problem 41. B (page 83), Problem 4.2 (page 84), Problem 4.4 D (page 89).  
3. Unit Review in your book (pgs. 108-110) specifically #s 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.

Shapes and Designs Study Guide for Assessment

We are finishing up our first math unit, Shapes and Designs. 

The Unit Test is scheduled for Thursday/Friday 10/26 and 27th.

Start studying now to make sure you're ready!

Final Study Guide - Shapes and Designs

1. Draw, construct and describe geometrical figures and describe relationships between 
2. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Review - Investigation 1 

    1. Sorting and sketching of regular polygon (specific to parallelogram and triangle)
    2. Benchmark angles
    3. Measuring angles

Review - Investigation 2

    1. Formulas - sum of angles in a regular polygon (n = the number of sides in polygon)
        • S (sum of angles) = 180 (n-2)
        • A (individual angle in a polygon) = 180 (n-2) / n
    2. Finding exterior angles in a polygon.

Review - Investigation 3

    1. Sides lengths and forming triangles:
        • The sum of the two shorter sides must be greater then the longer side in a triangle
    2. How to create a unique triangle:
        • SAS (side-angle-side),
        • AAS (angle-angle-side),
        • SSS (side-side-side),
        • ASA (angle- side-angle)
    3. Finding angle measures when given parallel lines and transversals.
        • supplementary angles
        • complementary angles
        • isosceles/equilateral triangle properties
        • parallelogram/square/rectangle properties
        • angle sums for regular polygons

Specific work to review:

    • Warm-up problems (Do Nows)
    • Specific ACE Problems or Investigation Problems to review to review:
    •Inv 1 ACE: #10 page. 27, Check-in Quiz, Problem 1.4 C and D page .21
    •Inv 2 ACE: #1 page. 52, #12 page. 54,
