Algebra I: Unit 1 Project – Design Your Own Quiz (including answer key)

Rough Draft – DUE 11/14

Final Draft – DUE 11/19

You will have time to work on this in class on Thursday, 11/13, while I am on the 6th grade field trip.

Directions:

Section 1:

You are going to make your own 10 question quiz (including an answer key) according to the guidelines below to show what you know about this unit. Please be creative! Feel free to incorporate your interests into this quiz: names, scenarios, initials, etc.

You must cover ALL of the following topics. You may combine two or more topics into one question, but you must have a total of ten (10) questions. Questions may have multiple parts.

Topics:

  1. Mathematical notation: line segments, angles, length of line segments, measures of angles, congruent figures, similar figures
  2. Reflection
  3. Translation
  4. Rotation
  5. Congruency
  6. Angle Relationships: supplementary, complementary, vertical, corresponding, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles
  7. Pythagorean Theorem
  8. Interior Angles of a Triangle Theorem
  9. Exterior Angles of a Triangle Theorem
  10. Dilation
  11. Similarity

Section 2: You will explore a proof the Pythagorean theorem. – Will be assigned on Monday, 11/10.

Section 3:You will write a short reflectionon this project. Fill in the reflection sheet. (Will be assessed as a HOW grade)

You may use your classwork, homework, and notes as resources. If you would like to see an example of a question, please ask.

More information, including the rubric, is on the following pages.

LT#1: I use properties of transformations, congruence, and similarity to solve problems about shape and measurement. Score: ______

LT#2: I explain and apply the theorem of Pythagoras to calculate distances between any two points on the coordinate grid. Score: ______
