SOME SAMPLE QUESTIONS FROM THE DATABASE

1. What is the best description for the distance from Point A to Point B?   

A) CD + 2EF                 B) CD - EF          

                     

C) 2CD - EF                  D) 2CD + EF

2. Which construction is represented by these construction marks?

            A) Copying ∠ABC                    B) The perpendicular bisector of

3. Jeff is constructing the angle bisector of ∠DBE.  What is the next step? Be very specific as to what he should do next.

Answer is “Keep the measure of the compass the same as what you just used to create the arc in the interior of the angle.  Place the pointer of the compass on Point D and create a new arc (using that same measure) until it intersects the given arc.  The intersection of these two arcs is a point on the angle bisector.”

Create any arc that intersects both rays of the angle.  Name those two new intersections D and E.  Using the same measurement, place your pointer at Point D and create an arc in the interior of the angle.  Repeat that same step but with your pointer at Point E.  The intersection of those two arcs is point F, a point on the angle bisector of ∠ABC.

I have provided an amazing amount of resources on this site to help you to succeed in teaching common core geometry. That is my goal - that you and I make it through this difficult transition!!

I have held back giving out my:

• notes (in an editable form),
• my worksheets & their answer keys,
• my activities,
• and my assessments & their keys.

The purchase of these items, accompanied by the materials on the site, will provide you with a smooth year of teaching.
