3. Khan Academy is a free website that is extremely useful for practice in many subjects. This website has videos to help in reteaching an area followed by practice problems (with answers). Students can save their work and progress by logging on to Khan Academy. You can create an account, or you can use your google or facebook account to do so. You can also screen shot each section if you prefer not to log on.
The Khan Academy has many, many topics in algebra and other areas of mathematics, science, etc. The practice sections relevant to the Keystone Algebra 1 test in the Khan Academy LEARN center are organized below. Each link contains interactive practice, hints, worked out solutions and links to video instruction if needed (The video links are on the lower right hand side of the page.)
After logging in, select an assessment area that needs improvement. There are many different areas you can focus on through Khan Academy, but below are links to specific help for the Keystone Exam. Use the links on this page to select the practice. When moving to a new topic, return to this page to pick the next practice area.
