Algebra Mid-Year Exam



Algebra Mid-Year Exam

All math mid-year exams, including our Algebra one, are scheduled for Monday January 24th from 8 AM to 10 AM.

The exam consists of:

• 70 multiple choice questions worth 1 point each

• 3 multi-part open-ended questions worth 10 points each.

You may use a calculator and a ruler for the exam. I only have 20 calculators that I will give out on a first-come first-serve basis the morning of the exam. There are 72 students in my 3 algebra classes so you should not count on borrowing a calculator from me. You should bring your own. However, there is no part of the exam that requires a calculator. I have no rulers to lend out – you must bring your own. No notes are allowed.

Anything that we have covered the first half of the year may be on the exam. The topics include (but are not limited to):

• evaluating arithmetic expressions including order of operations and absolute value

• identifying types of numbers (integers, rational, etc)

• rounding decimal numbers

• evaluating algebraic expressions given values of variables

• simplifying algebraic expressions using distributive property and combining like terms

• translating words to arithmetic expressions, algebraic expressions and algebraic equations

• Solving equations with one variable

• Solving inequalities with one variable

• Solving absolute value equations

• Graphing numbers on the number line and points on a Cartesian grid

• Graphing linear equations and absolute value equations

• Identifying slope, y-intercept and x-intercept given a linear equation

• Find the slope given two points that a line passes through

• Write the equation of a line given the slope and y-intercept

• Write the equation of a line given the graph of the line

• Be able to work with 3 forms of linear equation – standard, slope-intercept and point-slope

• Be able to apply skills to application (word) problems

My recommendation for studying are the following:

• review old tests and quizzes

• review notes

• sample tests and review problems from Larson
