Preparación para el examen de matemáticas ACT (también se aplica al examen de matemáticas SAT)

This class is for students that need to review and practice concepts covered on the ACT.

Each week students will focus on ACT Math topics.  The ACT topics include Pre-Algebra and Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Coordinate Geometry, Plane Geometry and Trigonometry.  Knowing each topic and practicing before hand allows a higher score on the ACT.  We will also focus on Calculator techniques.  We will be using a TI-84 to demonstrate calculator skills.  

Each week students will learn to use our calculators and work on using formulas we need to improve scores.   Topics will be adjusted according to students needs but will overall be the same as the below schedule.
