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.
