[quote=Anonymous]Former big 3 teacher here -- in terms of algebra skills, sit your kid down cold and ask him to solve these seven problems as they are what would be expected for a typical student entering a private DC school wanting to bypass Algebra 1: 1) graph the lines y = (-3/2)(x) + 4 and 3x - 4y = 12 2) write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-4, 1) and (2,4) 3) write an equation of a line perpendicular to the line in #2 that has a y-intercept of 6 4) factor 6x^2 - 11x + 10 5) identify the vertex and x-intercepts of the parabola y = x^2 +6x - 7 6) solve for x: 2|x + 4| - 2 < 10 7) simplify: 3[ (2/3) + (1/4)] + 3/5 - 4[/quote]
