MIMATH welcome
One year ago, Washington State developed new Mathematics standards for elementary, middle, and high school. The new Standards are strikingly different than the old Standards in one way–They are mastery based.
With the publication of specific mastery-based Standards comes the possibility of Assessments for these Standards. No such assessments have yet been released by the State.
To fill the gap, and as an experiment, I created a 20 question Assessment of the Algebra 1 Standards. This is intended as a self-test for students interested in seeing whether they are prepared to go on to the next math course–typically Geometry.
The Assessment may be used to see how well the material has been mastered, and what areas need more study or practice. Each question is directly linked to a Standard, and is intended to assess neither more nor less than what is required by the Standard. Nevertheless, this Assessment is NOT EASY. more...
Mercer island School District is the only District of over 2500 students in the State of Washington to meet federal standard of adequate yearly progress.
10th grade WASL pass rates:
Reading: 93%
Math: 83%
Writing: 94%
Science: 81%
The MImath.org web site is created to collate math resources available within the Mercer Island School District, and to add frequently used outside resources, and additional materials provided by volunteers. It is not intended to replace the MISD web resources.
This is a beginning. Much is still under construction.
Science will be considered at a later date.
