Honors Algebra 2 Midterm Review Packet This packet contains problems that are similar in content and format to those that you will see on your midterm the week of January 12th. You will be expected to complete a similar amount of work in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Your midterm will be out of 100 points. All questions are worth 2 points unless otherwise noted. The material on this review and the midterm covers Chapters 1-5. Reviewing all tests and quizzes is also recommended. You will be permitted the use of a calculator but there will be absolutely no sharing of calculators allowed. You will be allowed scrap paper, but IT WILL NOT BE COLLECTED. ipads are not permitted in the room during the exam. This means no ipad usage before, during or after the exam. Your exact exam dates and times are as follows: Period 3- January 13th 8:20-10:00am Period 6- January 14th 10:15-11:55am Period 8- January 15th 10:15-11:55am Some study tips and pointers: Find the sections in the book that these problems come from and review the examples and content presented. o Find similar problems in that section and PRACTICE. Practice without guidance from your book, the internet, parents, tutors or friends. Only your knowledge will be available to you at test time. o Practice timing yourself: Learn to solve the problems under pressure. Have a classmate review your work while you review theirs. Give each other study tips... some of the best learning is done when explaining a concept to a peer. Begin reviewing (at least) a week ahead. To realistically do this: Make a schedule. Organize yourself. o Plan time to review and time to practice. o Most importantly, to be realistic, plan free time and breaks as well. If you have any questions while you study over break, e- mail me. I will try to respond as soon as I can, but please be patient. Regardless, we will be reviewing this in detail the week of January 5 th. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! See you next year, Ms. Solera
