The Dates of the Final Exam are June 6th and June 9th.
Topics Covered in the Pre Algebra Final Exam (2013-2014)
The final is basically broken into thirds: 1/3 no calculator, multiple choice;
1/3 with calculator, multiple choice; 1/3 with calculator, open ended.
The formula sheet that we used in class will be provided (one side 7th grade, one side 8th grade)

Angles - Identify corresponding, alternate interior, alternate exterior, supplementary, vertical,
supplementary, complementary angles. Find the measure of angles on a drawing involving
supplementary, complementary or vertical angles
Classify & identify figures and line segments: Triangles by sides & angles; Solids (prisms,
pyramids, cylinders);
Identify Parallel, Perpendicular, Skew lines
MEASUREMENT
The following can be presented in real-world applications:
Finding area of figures on formula sheet
Surface Area - Find the surface area of a rectangular prism – Add the areas of all of the sides
Volume- Find the volume of a rectangular prism; cylinder
Circumference and Area of a circle
Scientific Notation - Given a number in either form rewrite the number in scientific or standard
notation, using positive and negative exponents
ALGEBRA
Translate verbal expressions and statements into algebraic expressions or equations
Apply writing expressions and equations to real-life problem situations
Solving Equations - Using substitution, Use inverse operations (may involve integers, fractions
or decimals), Solve one-step, two-step and multi-step equations
Commutative and Associative Property - Use the properties to combine like terms: example 5x + 2y
– 3x + 4y
Distributive Property - Simplify expressions such as 2(3x +5)
Simplify and solve expressions which involve like terms and the distributive property, example 5x
+ 2(3x – 5)
Identity Properties of + and *, Multiplicative Property of Zero
