013-014 Algebra 1 Semester Instructional Materials for the WCSD Math Common Finals The Instructional Materials are for student and teacher use and are aligned to the Math Common Final blueprint for this course. When used as test practice, success on the Instructional Materials does not guarantee success on the district math common final. Students can use these Instructional Materials to become familiar with the format and language used on the district common finals. Familiarity with standards vocabulary and interaction with the types of problems included in the Instructional Materials can result in less anxiety on the part of the students. Teachers can use the Instructional Materials in conjunction with the course guides to ensure that instruction and content is aligned with what will be assessed. The Instructional Materials are not representative of the depth or full range of learning that should occur in the classroom
Multiple Choice: Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. 1. You invited friends over to your house to watch a movie.
