FSA skills prep from iXL:

Parents/Guardians- Do you want a way for your child to get extra math practice before the FSA test this spring?

For 6th grade Math: https://www.ixl.com/math/skill-plans/florida-standards-assessments-grade-6

For 7th grade Math: https://www.ixl.com/math/skill-plans/florida-standards-assessments-grade-7

For Pre-Algebra: https://www.ixl.com/math/skill-plans/florida-standards-assessments-grade-8

For Algebra 1: https://www.ixl.com/math/skill-plans/florida-standards-assessments-algebra-1

For Geometry: https://www.ixl.com/math/skill-plans/florida-standards-assessments-geometry

Research shows that at least 30 minutes per week of extra practice with these skills will improve your child’s confidence and ability to solve math problems! We highly recommend keeping scratch paper nearby when solving math problems (and a nice pencil with an eraser.)
