A Gateway to High School Graduation

“Students who don’t complete Algebra I have just a one in five chance of graduating from high school,” Bill Gates writes in a recent article. 

Algebra I is a pivotal course in a student’s mathematical journey, and schools frequently spend a lot of time determining which students are ready for Algebra. The best way to ensure students are ready for Algebra I is to leverage an algebra readiness assessment, which can support educators with placement, intervention, and differentiation. 

Designed and developed to NCTM Standards.

IAAT provides educators with a valid and reliable measure of algebra readiness designed and developed to NCTM standards. The exam is organized into four parts: 

  • Part One: Pre-Algebraic Number Skills and Concepts Assesses how well students understand the mathematical skills and concepts necessary to succeed in an algebra course 
  • Part Two: Interpreting Mathematical Information
    Assesses how well students can learn new materials presented in graphs or text 
  • Part Three: Representing Relationships
    Assesses students’ abilities to find formulas for numerical relationships 
  • Part Four: Using Symbols
    Assesses how well students understand important algebraic symbols and their use 

Actionable Reports with Critical Insights

IAAT has numerous easy-to-read reports that provide educators with actionable insights to quickly identify algebra readiness, determine skill gaps in mathematical knowledge, and differentiate instruction to meet individual student needs.

Key reports highlight each student’s performance by standard, the student’s score compared to proficiency, student groupings by performance band, student reponses by item, and class standard level performance.
