Unit 6: College Math Skills
Duration of Days: 20
The purpose of this unit is to prepare students for post-secondary expectations, including:
College math placement exams
Military entrance exams
Workforce aptitude assessments
Placement into credit-bearing college math courses
Students will review essential algebraic and quantitative reasoning skills needed for college placement exams and career readiness assessments. Students will practice solving problems similar to those found on college placement tests and develop strategies for success on timed standardized exams.
This unit helps students avoid remedial math in college, which can delay graduation and increase college costs.
Students will use Khan Academy, practice placement exams, and practice ASVAB tests. Students will demonstrate growth by completing timed tests and will often be able to receive immediate feedback from the results of the online activities.
