Geometry Coordinate Proofs Problems

Finals are just around the corner and this was the look I got from a lot of students when passing out a topic list in class today:

Important notes about Finals:

• Everyone - This week is the LAST week for corrections and retakes.  I will be available some next week for extra help but it will only be for exam review!
• Algebra II and Geometry - You received your exam topic guide today in class.  This is an overview and not a study guide.  Your notebook is your guide to studying for your exam.  My suggestion - rework your review packets from each test and see what you need to work on from there.  (I am happy to print new copies of any or all of the review packets, just let me know!)
• Calculus - Your exam grade will be made up of two projects that we will work on in class next week. 

So here's what we have coming up this week.

• Geometry - We will have a Quiz on Friday over Notebook PG 108 -110.  Since we don't have a test for this unit  your crossword puzzle and word walls need to be done on Friday!!
