New York State Regents Integrated Algebra

In June 2008, the NY State Education Department will administer the first Regents examination in Integrated Algebra. This will be the first step in transitioning from Math A and Math B to Integrated Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2/Trigonometry over the next three years.

BarronsRegents.com now has the NYS Official Fall 2007 Sample Test for Intergrated Algebra plus two sample tests written by our expert editors available to our paid subscribers for practice.

According to the State Education Department, the specifications for the Regents Examination in Integrated Algebra are as follows:

"The questions on the Regents Examination in Integrated Algebra will assess both the content and the process strands of New York State Mathematics Standard 3. Each question will be aligned to one content performance indicator but will also be aligned to one or more process performance indicators, as appropriate for the concepts embodied in the task. As a result of the alignment to both content and process strands, the examination will assess students’ conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving abilities rather than assessing knowledge of isolated skills and facts.

There will be 39 questions on the Regents Examination in Integrated Algebra."
