Midterm Exam Review-Essentials of Algebra 1
The midterm exam for Essentials of Algebra 1 is on Unit 1 Patterns and Unit 2
The problems are very similar to the problems on the chapter tests and so the
study guide includes copies of the chapter tests, along with vocabulary words from your
book. You need to use the index of your book to find the definition of the vocabulary
word and we will go over these vocabulary words.
The format of the midterm exam:
The format of the midterm exam consists of 20 matching vocabulary words to
definitions worth 20 points and 10 opened ended questions worth 80 points total.
There is also a short task for Smarter-balanced assessments worth 10 points.
Students also have a teacher evaluation form to fill out, along with a self- evaluation
form to fill out for a total of 10 points.
Students will also be given a handout with formulas to use, as well as a number bank
sheet at the back of the exam for the students to use for the fill in the blank problems.
Materials and behavior during the midterm exam:
Students may bring in only a clear water bottle filled with water to drink during the
midterm exam.
Students must go to the bathroom before entering the classroom to take the exam.
Students must bring in their own pencils and erasers to use during the midterm exam.
