Algebra 1 Guarantees

This page contains examples of the Algebra 1 Guarantees. These Guarantees will be tested cummulatively three times per quarter for a total of twelve times per year. These Guarantee Tests will replace the final tests that were not very popular in the past.

Most of the Guarantees have Example Problems and a set of Practice Problems with an answer key. Many of the Practice Problem sets are lengthy so be aware of what you are printing. Some of the Guarantees even have video clips showing how to complete the guarantee. You can search for many other videos on YouTube and other video sites.
