In addition to a project or projects, teachers are encouraged to review areas that students found particularly challenging, as well as topics which will help them succeed in geometry (proportional reasoning, analytic geometry, etc.), leading to a Culminating Test during final exam time. There will be no CCPS District
Final Exam.
**For the end of course project, please use a project of your choosing, either from your own library, the CCPS Gifted Website, or from the resources listed below. This should be designed to allow students the opportunity to create and collaborate. Student-teacher, student-student and student-resource interaction is encouraged, for the purpose of developing higher order thinking skills.

Higher-Order Thinking Questions by Lesson:
Chapter 1
1-1 Evaluating Expressions
 Can you describe the steps needed to simplify an algebraic expression?
1-2 Applying Order of Operations
 Why do the Order of Operations exist?
1-3 Writing Expressions
 What clues are given in verbal descriptions that enable you to develop an algebraic expression?
1-4 Writing Equations and Inequalities
 How do equations and inequalities differ from algebraic expressions?
1-5 Use a Problem Solving Plan
 What step would you add to the problem solving plan on page 28 that would assist you in solving word problems or verifying your responses?
1-6 Represent Functions as Rules and Tables
 How do you determine if a relation is function?
1-7 Represent Functions as Graphs
 Can you specify the purpose behind the four different methods to represent a function? i.e. verbally, graphically, in a table, or an equation
Chapter 2
2-1 Use Integers and Rational Numbers
 Can you describe the attributes of the numbers in the Real Number System?
2-2 Add Real Numbers
 How can you tell if two numbers when added will result in an answer of zero?
2-3 Subtract Real Numbers
 How do you determine if the result of subtracting two numbers will be negative?
2-4 Multiply Real Numbers
 How is the commutative property different from the associative property?
2-5 Apply the Distributive Property
 Why is the distributive property sometimes needed to simplify some expressions i.e. why not use the order of operations? Support your response with examples.
2-6 Divide Real Numbers
 What is the difference between a response of zero and one that is undefined when dividing two numbers?
2-7 Find Square Roots and Compare Real Numbers
 How do you tell if a square root will result in a rational or irrational number without calculating?
