I gave my quiz as a pretest. Students have not been exposed to the slope formula, so questions number 3 and 5 were left blank or calculated wrong. Most students left it blank. Thus, the highest grade students could of received was 80%.  The two true or false questions, were split down the middle. Nine students got questions 10 incorrect and six students were correct. As for questions 7, eleven were correct. I think seeing the negative sign and the word decrease in question 7, students guessed it had to true statement since negative and decrease go hand in hand. Lastly, as for the rest of questions, there were a variety of answers for the fill-ins (most students had no idea what to write as their fill-in answer). I did give credit to those students that wrote increasing or decreasing for slopes that were positive and negative. For the multiple choice questions there wasn't a letter ( A, B, C, D) that most students picked. Here is the quiz .

After teaching the lesson and giving the same quiz as a post test, four students scored a hundred percent, one students scored a seventy percent and two students scored an eighty percent.The rest of the students scored ninety percent. The multiple and true/false questions were the questions that students made mistakes. When discussing the results with the students, the mistakes made were not conceptual, but reading errors. The students rushed through the reading and misunderstood what the questions were asking.
