First Semester Final Exam Review

Are you ready?

Your Math Analysis Final Exam will be on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (Dec 19-21) and will cover material from Units A-L.

Wednesday - 45 minutes (Questions #1- ___)
Thursday -54 minutes (Questions #___-___)
Friday - 30 minutes (Questions #___-___)

Two review packets, 106 questions each, have been created.  Your final exam will be shorter than this (length TBD).  You can access and print the packets here.

Please keep in mind that some of the answers do not fully answer the question and you may have to ask your teacher to clarify.  However, pay close attention to notation because your final exam will be multiple choice and the multiple choice answers will be formatted in the same way as the answer choices on the review packet (which may be different than what you did in class!)

For Mrs. Kirch's students (please check with Ms. Tamaoki for anything different if you are her student)

1. Version 1 of the Final Exam review, completed neatly and organized on your own lined paper, is your "ticket" to the final exam and will be due in full at the beginning of class on Wednesday.

2.  You will have Monday and Tuesday (Dec 17-18) in class to ask any final questions about the review.  However, the review packet should be fully completed to the best of your ability BEFORE these days in class.

3. Version 2 of the Final Exam review is not required but is highly suggested for sections of the final exam you need more practice on.  Certain students may be required to complete Version 2 based on semester effort and teacher discretion.

4. You may use your Math Analysis portfolio on the exam.  This includes: SSS packets, Quiz packets, Test packets, and spiral notebooks/templates.  This DOES NOT INCLUDE your final exam review packet.  You will be turning this in before the exam and it may not be used on the test.

*This is updated as of Sunday, November 25th. Changes and updates will be made in the coming weeks as the final exam is ... finalized ... :)

Flipped Classroom Video Story

Back to School Night 2012 on Prezi

Student Blog Post Reminders:

(see the initial video tutorial of summary blog posts here)


What do I title my post?

Unit __ Question # __: _____________________ (Shortened version of question/topic)

What do I write in my post?

State the question

You can copy-paste this from the electronic WSQ chart that you can open from the Unit tab on the blog.  Or you can just type it out yourself :).

Answer the question

Correctly - Answer must be correct or you will not receive credit

Completely - Make sure to answer all parts of the question

Proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, etc.

Extend the question

Your answer must extend beyond the basic notes that are provided for you in the SSS to show your understanding of the material.  This can be done by explaining a specific example or situation to clarify the notes.  

Include an image

Image must relate to the question.  It is helpful if your image is connected to your "extension" as a way to explain what you mean in your own words.



Suggestions for an aesthetically pleasing post:

1. Use bold, italics, underlining, highlighting, and different colors to bring out important facts
2. Use different font sizes to help distinguish between portions of the post
3. Have the image be set to "right" or "left" instead of "center" so you can have text right next to it.




Overall, the purpose of the blog posts is for you to show me how well you understand the material.  

It is important that:

1. They are in YOUR OWN WORDS and not mine
2. They go beyond the basic facts presented in the SSS
3. They show some basic thought and connections.


TO RESUBMIT A BLOG POST FOR RE-GRADING:
1. Check with Mrs. Kirch if you are confused about what the right answer is.
2. Edit the original post to include all the information above
3. Send Mrs. Kirch a note on Edmodo with the link to the specific post you want her to re-read.  It will not go back to her RSS reader after the original publish date, so now you must send it her way!

Student Video Reminders (IMPORTANT!)

Start your video by saying:

Hi, this is _______ and __________ from Period ______.  Today we will be working out a Unit ___ Concept _____ problem for Student Video #____

(first names only!!)

Work out the problem, explaining step by step

At the end, say THANK YOU FOR WATCHING :)

All group members (groups of 1-3) must do the following:
1. Embed the video into a post on your personal blog.  Below the video, you must answer the following questions:

• What is this video about?
• What does the viewer need to pay special attention to in order to understand the concept?

2. Embed the video on your "Student Videos" page (reminder: it is suggested you just embed a MentorMob playlist to add to every time, but it is up to you)


Check out the video on this post to get a visual of embedding the videos from any site into your post and page :)
