322 Preassessment Name:

Instructions: This is NOT a quiz, but a tool for gathering data about where we need to concentrate on content. Questions come from mathassessments.mscenters.org.

On the following problems, (1) try to answer the questions. (2) If the answer was available to you by recall, circle the problem number. If the answer was available by one or two steps, square the problem number. If the problem required more thought than that, star the problem number. If you do not know how to begin the problem, or cannot answer, you don’t need to guess – just put a triangle around the problem number. Please put any work on the paper.
