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.
