Algebra and the EOC
SESSION OUTLINE
What is the EOC?
The EOC Up Close
What does my student need to know?
How can I help my student pass the Algebra EOC?
WHAT IS THE EOC?
The End of Course Assessment measures how well students have learned the Algebra standards.
Our state tests measures students' performance against a set of learning standards.
Graduation Requirements
Beginning with the class of 2015, students will have to pass two end-of-course exams. Those students can take two EOC exams (algebra 1 and geometry)
WHAT DOES THE EOC LOOK LIKE?
The Algebra EOC consists of 37 questions. 29 multiple choice 5 completion 3 short-answer
Unlike the MSP, the EOC is a paper and pencil test. Students will be able to use calculators and any state provided handouts.
SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS
To get a feel for the type of questions and level of work needed to complete an EOC question we will now look at some sample questions.
WHAT DOES MY STUDENT NEED TO KNOW?
Every EOC question is linked to a specific Algebra standard.
These standards are the foundation for all teaching at Chehalis Middle School.
