Evaluating Algebraic Expressions: Sample FAST Questions

Students evaluate algebraic expressions by substituting given values for variables and applying the order of operations. They start with expressions using the four basic operations and progress to expressions that include exponents, such as finding the value of 3x^2 − 5 when x = 4.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

FAST items are usually equation editor questions where students substitute a value and enter the result, plus multiple choice items checking order-of-operations accuracy.

Skills students need

  • Evaluate expressions without exponents using substitution
  • Evaluate expressions with exponents using substitution
