NJSLA Algebra II, Lesson 2: Implement a Mathematics Pre-Assessment

In order to assure that students perform at their personal best, students need to understand the format of the items associated with each performance level descriptor and develop efficient strategies for responding. This pre-assessment provides instructors with a view of students’ content knowledge and ability to apply this knowledge on timed assessments. This is a CLASSROOM assessment with the purpose of gathering information to gauge student strengths and weaknesses based on content, perception and analyzing processes. The goal of this lesson is to inform instruction and is not considered a District Benchmark Assessment.
