Retaking the Geometry Take Home Quiz

Students who performed below expectations on the most recent Geometry take home quiz have the opportunity to retake the quiz by completing the following steps:

1) We spent a good portion of Wednesday's class reviewing the quiz and answering questions. Students were asked to take notes and reminded of topics that should have already been in their notes. Students should spend time on their own reviewing the material covered on this quiz and identifying topics with for which they may need additional instruction.

2) Students are encouraged to spend their Freshman Block lunch time (bring your lunch with you) in the Math Office on Thursday and/or Friday working with Ms. Mayberry, one of our pre-service teachers from the ISU Math Dept. Students who can not meet with Ms. Mayberry at this time, so go to the online Geometry text and watch the tutorial videos and complete the online quizzes in Sec. 1.1 and 1.2.

3) After that meeting, students will be given the retake quiz to be completed at home over the weekend and returned at the start of class on Monday, Sept. 12.

4) The new score will replace the old score.

Note: Students will NOT be allowed to retake any assessment without first showing that they have made a serious attempt to relearn the material - watched online videos, completed online review/quizzes, received individual help, etc. The purpose of allowing retakes is to insure that students continue to make an attempt to master areas of content where they are currently lacking.
