Exam 1 Study Guide Math 257: Geometry & Probability for Teachers, with Joe Champion, Fall 2013 Instructions 1. Exam 1 is one of two unit exams that combine for 50% of the overall course grade. The exam covers content from Chapters 16-18 & 22 in the textbook, including in-class activities, homework, handouts, and quizzes. 2. You may use a personal reference sheet on the exam. The reference sheet must be on 1 side of an page and be written entirely in your own hand-writing. 3. You may bring a writing utensil, calculator, protractor, ruler, and compass to the exam. You may also use patty paper and a Mira during the exam. 4. ny resources not listed above are not allowed during the exam. t the instructor s discretion, use of additional resources may result in a 0 on the exam. 5. To earn full credit on problems, justify your solutions, make your reasoning clear, and indicate your methods. These explanations may earn you partial credit, no matter what the question format. 6. There are 15 tasks for 100 points on the exam. The tasks must be completed during the scheduled time 75 minute time. Suggested Practice Tasks for Exam 1 1. I am a polyhedron with a total of 9 faces.
