Week 30

Today was the last day of Geometry class. I can’t believe that we have been together for an entire school year. I am so proud of each of them for all the hard work they have put into geometry . You have grown academically and also as friends. For those who are not coming back next year we will truly miss you, and we look forward to seeing those who are coming back. I think that the you want a break before they do more math though.

Today we had a treat. What do you get when you put a sphere on top of a cone? Well something that looks like an ice cream cone. I brought out my ice cream scoop, they traced it on their paper. Then they were to find the center, and measure the radius. We did the same thing with a sugar cone. We found the center of the cone and measured its height. Then we had enough information to find the volume of both. Then I served up Ice cream on the cone. After that we did problems together to study for the final exam.

There are 2 assignments to study for the final exam, we worked on the first one one in class today. These assignments are very large with 75 questions. The final exam is very large, with 75 problems. If you are proficient with the review assignments then you are ready for the final exam. The final exam is to be taken at home just as all the tests before. It is worth 200 points. There is a memory verse for extra credit. It is worth 10 extra points on the test. There was no video for class today, but if you have questions on any of the review problems, I will make some videos and post them on GroupMe for you. Just make sure you request the problem number and assignment name.

I have never had a class that everyone worked so hard like this before. I want you to know I feel blessed to have been a part of your lives. Thanks for being a part of mine. Please let me know if you have any questions.
