Finals time approaches

Hey all,

In Friday's class we worked in our small groups on our "final assignment." In my group we are making a problem that uses proportions to find the lengths of sides of shapes - from chapter 7. We are making one big massive problem that will be awesome!

Don't forget: your assignments must be posted on the blog by the end of Monday!!

As finals time approaches, here are some helpful tips:

- if you are behind in any of your classes, get those assignments completed this weekend, once those are done, even if you aren't completely on top of your studying for your finals, you will feel 10 times better.

- If you get those last assignments completed this weekend, or if you are already on top of everything....get studying!! If you get on top of your studying for finals this weekend next week with go by in a giff :). Just keep telling yourself one more week!...go out with a bang.

- tips for studying:

* go through your old tests and quizzes to see what you remember

*review homework and notes from sections you don't remember very well

*do some problems from your tests and homework (make sure you do at least one from every section and topic covered in the chapters).

* if you totally don't know something, go back to the book and your notes and relearn what you forgot

* Also, it is really helpful to make a study guide for all chapters with key notes to remember from the chapter. Or you can make practice tests from homework problems (just make sure you have the answers! so you can check)

- Other things to keep in mind:

1.) DON'T get too stressed, that won't do you any good

2.) get good sleep this coming week, especially the nights before the finals, no matter how much you study, if you don't get enough sleep you will do poorly on your finals

3.) Eat protein enriched foods this week, they will really help you to keep going strong this week.

4.) And finally, take breaks during your studying to exercise, be it running around the block, around your house, doing jumping jacks or just hoping around your room, exercise really helps your brain keep working efficiently.

MATH final help:

1.) come to Panera this sunday at 5pm to study with your fellow classmates

2.) look at the blog to refresh your mind

3.) watch this video to review math concepts:
