Algebra I Keystone Exams
• Students in 6-12 who successfully complete Algebra I are required to take the Algebra I Keystone Exam.
• Scores from 11th grade students will be used to determine AYP.
• Schools can bank the scores of students who pass the exam prior to 11th grade until the student is in 11th grade.
Program Details
• This program was designed by a teacher to prepare students for the exam by: – Reviewing Eligible Content for the Exam, – Teaching Test-Taking Techniques, – Providing Flexible Instruction, and– Practicing Multiple-Choice and Open-Ended
Questions.
How it Works
• The program can be used as – In an Algebra I course to increase academic rigor
and practice eligible anchors, – As a remedial/review course for students, – As an independent course to prepare students for
the exam, or – To reteach modules, as needed, to students who
need to retake the exam.
How it Works
• Since 40% of a student’s score on the exam is from Constructed-Response Questions, the Program includes over 50 Open-Ended Problems, 2 from each Lesson.
• Each Lesson’s Pretest and Posttest include questions that are similarly formatted to the released items.
• Program Components Include: – Module 1 & Module 2 Lesson (26 Lessons),– Test Taking Strategies,– Dictionary of Terms for Vocabulary Building, – Presentation Files for Each Lesson, – Using the TI-83/TI-84 or TI-73 on the Exam, and – Student Progress Forms and Awards
Cost-Savings
• To reduce the financial burden to districts, the program’s one-time cost provides 1 high school and 1 middle school a license to reproduce school quantities for multiple years.
• For example: $1,250/(300 students x 5 years) = $0.83 per student (plus your district’s printing costs)
Program Pricing
• The Complete Program (per district) – $1,250 for the first high school and middle school, – Each additional high school is $750, and – Each additional middle school is $100.
• For example: A district with 4 high schools and 5 middle
schools would pay: $1,250 + (3 x $750) + (4 x 100) = $3,900
Program Delivery
• Upon receipt of payment, the district’s lead contact (of the district’s choosing) will receive a email link to a dropbox folder with each school’s specific files.
• Each lesson will include the name of the district and school that obtained the license.
• Documents are sent in PDF format and presentations are in PowerPoint, Flipchart, and PDF formats.
