The best resource to use as a starting point for review of the test is your previous graded assignments
from this unit. You should have graded assessments on the following:
o Quiz on angles (30 pts.)
o Quiz on triangles (20 pts.)
By looking over at the above graded assignments you will have a better understanding as to which areas
to spend the most time reviewing and practicing.
There are also a lot of terms and symbols that you learned in this unit on geometry so use flashcards to
help you memorize them.
o There WILL be section on test that assesses your knowledge of the math symbols from this unit
of study. Make sure you review the meaning of each.
