Shapes and Designs Unit Test
We are finishing up our first math unit, Shapes and Designs.
The Unit Test is scheduled for Thursday 10/29.
Start studying now to make sure you're ready!
Final Study Guide - Shapes and Designs
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,
•Inv 3 Problem 3.2 A, ACE #9 page. 77, Problem 3.4 B and C page. 70
• Check-in 1 and Partner Quiz Inv 2

Homework Expectations
Today, we talked about producing quality homework. This year, students will receive a grade for homework. However, the grade will not be based on the number right or wrong, but on the work's completion, quality, and correction/reflection. Approximately one assignment per week will be collected and contribute to an overall term homework grade.
Here is the homework descriptor that was handed out to students:
7th Grade Math Homework Expectations
1. Completion - All assigned problems have been attempted and completed with work shown. If there are incomplete or partially completed problems, questions should be written in place of work and contact with your teacher should be made (email, face-to-face prior to or at the beginning of class).
2. Quality - Work has your name, assignment title (page number, problems and investigation), and date at the top of the page. Work is legible and organized.
3. Correction & Reflection - Work is not erased and corrections (if needed) are done in a different color. At the bottom of the page rank yourself from 1- 5 (1 = not understanding the content, 5 = solid understanding of content) and write a thought about the work you completed.
- If you did well, what was the key to your success on this work?
- If you found the work challenging, what do you need to do to better understand the material? This is a strategy to help you get better at the material covered in class. The sooner you identify that you're finding work challenging, the sooner you're able to get the help you need.

Our First Unit! Shapes and Designs
This year, we begin our math studies with an exploration into two-dimensional geometry. The parent letter below outlines what students and parents can expect from this unit.
Here is a pdf version for a clearer view. I particularly enjoy the resources listed on the second page.
