Midterm Exam Review-Pre-Algebra
The midterm exam for Pre-Algebra is on Chapters 1, 2, 4, 5, 13, and 10.
The problems are very similar to the problems on the chapter tests and so the
study guide includes copies of the chapter tests handed out in class along with
vocabulary words from the book(these definitions should be in your notebook) and
chapter tests from the book.
For each chapter, the vocabulary words are listed on the page of the book along
with the page on which the definition is found. You must know the definition of every
word. For each chapter, the book chapter test is listed on each page along with any
item not on the tested listed in parentheses.
For Chapter 1: Vocabulary word-decimal on page 52, and chapter test on
page 56.
For Chapter 2: Vocabulary words on page 108 and chapter test on page 112.

For chapter 5: Vocabulary words on page 258 and chapter test on page 262
For Chapter 13: Vocabulary words on page 752 and chapter test on page 756.
For Chapter 10: Vocabulary words on page 564 and chapter test on page
568.

Materials and behavior during the midterm exam:
Students may bring in only a clear water bottle filled with water to drink during the

Students must go to the bathroom before entering the classroom to take the exam.
Students must bring in their own pencils and erasers to use during the midterm exam.
Calculators will be provided; however if students have a calculator on their phone, they
may use that part of their phone during the exam. Please charge your phone the night

Scrap paper will also be provided. Please put your name on all papers used so that Mrs.
Griffin may see all the work that you did for credit.

Any disruptive behavior will not be tolerated and students will immediately be escorted
to ISS with a 0 for their midterm exam and a bad recommendation in their permanent
file.

indeed ready for Algebra 1.
