Name of Supervising Teacher:  Math Dept.

Anticipated Cost:  $0                     

Number of Students:  15-20/section

Time:  1 Block

 

Description: 

For many students, the lowest subscore on the ACT exam is Mathematics; the purpose of this course is to help students (primarily 11/12th graders but anyone is welcome) review necessary mathematics content for the ACT.  Many colleges and universities require a subscore in at least the 18-22 range to avoid remedial (high school level) coursework in mathematics.

The approximate breakdown of the ACT Mathematics Test is:

·        Pre-Algebra                 23%

·        Elementary Algebra    17%

·        Intermediate Algebra  15%

·        Coordinate Geometry 15%

·        Plane Geometry           23%

·        Trigonometry               7%

 

So whether you’re trying to reach benchmark or just remember some of the “easy stuff” you’ve forgotten, consider signing up for this course!

 

Educational Objectives (College / Career Readiness Focus):

1.     Students will review mathematics skills and concepts to prepare for the ACT exam.

2.     Students will analyze the results of a practice ACT Math Test to determine topics for further independent review.
