Corrections for Geometry Party #3 due Tuesday March 31.
This is optional.  Here are the instructions that are also posted in the classroom...

Math Party/Test Corrections

Tests should be, like the rest of school, part of the learning process.  If you want to improve your test score and improve your understanding of the material, you can do CORRECTIONS for that test.  Here's how: 

1.  Use a separate sheet of paper.  Write your name and "Corrections" at the top.

2.  For each problem that you want to correct, write the problem number and the full problem.

3.  Write out your new solution to the problem, showing every step of your process.

4.  Explain in a sentence what you needed to do that you missed the first time.

5.  Staple it to the original test, and put it in the math assignment box on the teacher's desk.

 You may use any resources for this: look at the text book, ask me, ask a friend for help, etc. You should not, however, simply copy someone else's work. 

 For every problem that you correct, you may get up to half of the points back that you missed the first time around.  The credit you get back depends on how correct and how thorough your explanations are.  As always, let me know if you have any questions.
