Test for Algebra:
- **Solving Equations**
- Start with simple one-step equations using addition and subtraction.
- Progress to two-step equations involving multiplication and division.
- Introduce variables on both sides of the equation for more complex problems.
- **Graphing**
- Teach students how to graph linear equations on a coordinate plane.
- Include problems where they have to identify the slope and y-intercept of a line.
- **Word Problems**
- Create word problems that require students to set up and solve algebraic equations.
- Include a mix of different types of problems, such as distance-rate-time or mixture problems.
- **Polynomials**
- Teach students how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide polynomials.
- Include problems with multiple variables and exponents.
- **Systems of Equations**
- Introduce systems of equations and how to solve them using substitution or elimination.
- Include real-world applications of systems of equations.
- **Factoring**
- Teach students how to factor quadratic expressions.
- Include problems where they have to factor by grouping or using the quadratic formula.
By incorporating these topics into your algebra test, you can assess your students' understanding of key algebraic concepts and their ability to apply them to a variety of problems.
