https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i Imagine *you* were creating a test to see how well Curtis students knew algebra? If a student passes the test, they get credit. If they fail, they get nothing. What would you put on the test? How would you make it fair? What percent of students should pass? en-us 2017-05-24 13:16:06 UTC 2023-03-15 09:01:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173622537 what i think should be on the finals is that is more fractions, decimals, word problems, how to solve for x, how to make two equations. Make short answers understanding more make it clear. 
Questions: 9, 17, 39,

MR W: Why are fractions so important? Is this something you think a passing student should know? Is this something you know? Of the four questions listed, which one is the fairest. Which one is the most unfair?]]> 2017-05-24 13:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173622537 https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173622542 I would put problems that people are actually good at on the test. For example I would put question 28 which is talking about rational numbers. ]]> 2017-05-24 13:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173622542 https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173622858 I would put equations  i think most of the students would pass

MR W: What limit would you put on "most?" In other woulds, should 90 percent pass? Should kids who cut pass? Where do we set the fairness threshold? What subjects would it be fair for "most" students to cover in terms of equations?

To make it fair , if the student shows work but answers incorrectly, i would give a point. 80% OF STUDENTS SHOULD PASS.

To make it a bit more fair, i'd give them one point if they put an incorrect answer, but show the correct work. 85% of the class should pass.
MR. W: What do you mean? Give an example.]]> 2017-05-24 13:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173623591 https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173624612 i would make the test fair with mostly multiple choice questions but also short answers to make sure he students know the steps to take to answer a question. i would give an extra credit question as well. make it challenging but simple.such as questions 23 and 33 .This way most of the students should pass with a high grade]]> 2017-05-24 13:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173624612 https://padlet.com/swilliams241/gv0i2t7qou0i/wish/173625412 i think you should use questions you can use calculator skills 
question 25 does seem to include calculator skills with graphing and table use
