ACP Topics to review

The ACP Test is closed notes!  Before you take the Test this week, be sure to review the following topics:

1.  Make conjectures - remember when we describe what we see.  Be sure to know these words and what they look like:  point, line, plane, skew lines, collinear, coplanar, supplemental, linear pair, vertical lines, complementary, segment.

2.  Constructions - what they look like, the order to make them, and what they do.  Remember the angle bisector, segment bisector, copying angles, copying line segments, constructing perpendiculars on and off the line.

3.  Patterns - how to get the equation that describes the pattern.  We did this in class last Thursday and Friday.

4.  Slopes and equations of lines.  Look at this blog's entries on this topic.  Make sure you can calculate slope, find equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.

5. Use the formulas for slope, midpoint, distance.  Remember that if you get asked for length, you need to use the distance formula!  And if you get a perimeter question, that you need to calculate the distance of each side and then add them up.

6. Transversal relationships - remember the corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, consecutive interior angles, and consecutive exterior angles.

7.  Triangle congruence - be sure to be able to determine which one is used:  SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS.

8. Transformations - remember to multiply when you see the word "scale factor"

9. Similarity - use those proportions and ratios!

10.  Proofs.  Review that proofs packet.
