if you believe that it is important that elementary school teachers
can do a little algebra,
putting one or two items on a multiple choice test is not going to
make that happen.
You'd be better off requiring that they have one college level course
in a subject that uses algebra, one that they'd be unlikely to pass
without that minimal level you were hoping to see.
I've found that students are very good at passing courses without
understanding the underlying math.
