Lenape Middle School Math Department
Algebra 1 Keystone Prep
Name: _________________________
Date: __________________________
This year you will take the Algebra 1 Keystone Exam. This exam covers the content of
Algebra 1, however it requires high level problem solving and multi step application problems.
To review and prepare for this exam, you will be completing review assignments each week.
All of the assignments shown below are available on an online program, Study Island. Each
lesson must be completed with at least 70% proficiency. Grades will be based on accuracy,
not completion. A calculator is allowed on all assignments.
Website: www.studyisland.com (you must then click “login” in upper right-hand corner… and
make sure you select the “schools” option)

Suggestions for Success:
 Assignments are opened each Thursday. You will have until the end of the day on the
following Wednesday to complete the assignment. All questions are randomized.
 Complete problems in each topic in sets of 10. If you earn less than 7/10 on your first
try, begin a new session. Continue to work on sessions of 10 problems until you earn at
least a 7/10. Your “best” score out of 10 will be your grade for each assignment and will
count towards your overall grade. Some Assignments have two separate “topics” to
complete. Each topic will be graded out of 10 points each (on accuracy).
 Use the Study Island lesson plans. If you find that you are consistently getting
problems wrong, view the lesson that is associated. This may help you to understand your
error and complete the task. It may be a good idea to view it prior to the assignment.
 Show your work. Although these problems are completed on the computer, you will need
scrap paper to work out problems. If you are really stuck on a problem, bring that problem
to class for review on Thursday or e-mail your teacher the question or take a picture on
your phone. Just because its multiple choice, doesn’t mean show zero work!
 Use test-taking strategies. You may find that using test-taking strategies will be very
beneficial. One of the best strategies is to cross off the wrong answers before you pick
the correct one. Almost always, two of the answers will cancel out immediately giving you a
good chance to get the problem correct.
 On Thursday’s, we will have short time at the beginning of class to review questions. All
questions should be e-mailed or printed since each student’s assignment is different.
 Use the back of this sheet to track and organize your progress.
 If you are unable to have computer access, get a resource pass to the Library or a
computer lab prior to the due date.
