A Comprehensive Set of Online Algebra Placement and Assessment Tools for Grades 6–12
Acuity's Algebra helps improve algebra instruction by determining student readiness for Algebra I, AlgebraI proficiency, and identifying Algebra I students who need remediation.
Acuity's Readiness exam provides a valid data point to help determine if a student is ready for Algebra 1. Acuity's Algebra Proficiency assessment provides a strong indication of a student's proficiency in Algebra 1 and their ability to advance to more advanced mathematics courses.
Acuity Algebra's 13 formative tests can be administered as-is, or reconstructed to align to a district's pacing guides. Acuity also allows you to build customized assessments using a robust item bank and item authoring tools.
Acuity Algebra aligns with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) 2000 Standards.
