Math for College Readiness COURSE DESCRIPTION College Readiness Mathematics is a data driven course designed to prepare seniors for college level mathematics, as well as for commonly required college entrance exams. This course utilizes ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) which is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics he/she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. This ALEKS course is very complete in topic coverage and avoids multiple-choice questions. The teacher will identify individual and class weaknesses from the data gathered from ALEKS to properly guide instruction and activities. The teacher will ensure that students strengthen their understanding of core topics in Algebra, Geometry, and Precalculus. Technology support for ALEKS is available at http://support.aleks.com . Students will also be assessed using ACCUPLACER which is a suite of tests that determines knowledge in math to prepare for enrollment in college-level courses. ACCUPLACER is used to identify strengths and weaknesses and help improve skills through interactive online learning tools. Many colleges and universities utilize the results of this assessment, in conjunction with academic background, goals and interests to place students in the appropriate college courses that meet their skill level. For this course, all students will initially take the Elementary Algebra ACCUPLACER and either the Arithmetic ACCUPLACER or College-Level Math ACCUPLACER depending on their Algebra ACCUPLACER score. This set of assessments should also be taken at the midpoint and end of a semester. The Middlesex County College Math Placement Rules have been attached for your guidance. http://www.middlesexcc.edu/admit/images/MCC%20Placement%20Rules %20%28As%20of%2010-13-2009%29.pdf .

Math for College Readiness

COURSE DESCRIPTION

College Readiness Mathematics is a data driven course designed to prepare seniors for college level mathematics, as well as for commonly required college entrance exams. This course utilizes ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) which is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics he/she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. This ALEKS course is very complete in topic coverage and avoids multiple-choice questions. The teacher will identify individual and class weaknesses from the data gathered from ALEKS to properly guide instruction and activities. The teacher will ensure that students strengthen their understanding of core topics in Algebra, Geometry, and Precalculus. Technology support for ALEKS is available at http://support.aleks.com.

Students will also be assessed using ACCUPLACER which is a suite of tests that determines knowledge in math to prepare for enrollment in college-level courses. ACCUPLACER is used to identify strengths and weaknesses and help improve skills through interactive online learning tools. Many colleges and universities utilize the results of this assessment, in conjunction with academic background, goals and interests to place students in the appropriate college courses that meet their skill level. For this course, all students will initially take the Elementary Algebra ACCUPLACER and either the Arithmetic ACCUPLACER or College-Level Math ACCUPLACER depending on their Algebra ACCUPLACER score. This set of assessments should also be taken at the midpoint and end of a semester.

.

The teacher must continuously review arithmetic operations without the use of a calculator for proper success on ACCUPLACER exams which do not permit hand held calculator use.

MCC PLACEMENT SCORES

Accuplacer Algebra and Accuplacer CLM (College Level Mathematics)

In addition to the placement rules link from above, more information regarding specific math course placement at Middlesex County college is also included on this page for your guidance.

Math Placement Information

Am I exempt from MAT 010?If your Math Comp score is at least 57 and your Algebra score is at least 40, you may enroll directly in MAT 013 (Algebra I) in the older math grid (prior to 3/10/08).

Do I need to take MAT 014 (ALGEBRA II) or may I take a credit course?If, under the heading of Required Developmental Courses, you see (None) for Algebra, then you will fit into one of the following categories:

IF your curriculum DOES NOT require MAT 014 as a prerequisite for credit courses*, in conjunction with advisement, you may enroll in one of the following credit courses:

MAT 101 (Freshman Mathematics I)MAT 104 (Mathematics for the Elementary School)MAT 107 (Mathematics I)BUS 115 (Mathematics of Finance)

IF your curriculum requires MAT 014 as a prerequisite for credit courses* and if your Algebra placement score was 68-89 and your CLM score was less than 40, you must take MAT 014 in the older math grid (prior to 3/10/08).

IF you do not fit into either of the above categories, then you may take a credit course. Using your placement scores in conjunction with advisement, use the following table to serve as a guide for your first credit math course:

IF you do not fit into either of the above categories, then you may take a credit course. Using your placement scores in conjunction with advisement, use the following table to serve as a guide for your first credit math course:

COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS

The Common Core State Standards for High School Mathematics are infused throughout the lessons provided. They are listed under ALEKS topics with Common Core State Standards for High School beginning with CC. Teachers should feel free to add additional codes as necessary. Detailed descriptions of these standards can be found at http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards/mathematics. In particular, Modeling (noted by * in the CCSS) is defined as both a conceptual category for high school mathematics and a mathematical practice and is an important avenue for motivating students to study mathematics and for preparing them for college and career readiness. Student-centered activities that model multiple standards should be utilized to make connections among topics which are essential for deeper student comprehension of mathematics as a whole.

Copies of these standards can also be found on the District Intranet and in the College Readiness Mathematics Manual.

MODIFICATIONS

Teachers using this manual for classified students can modify the objectives, lessons, and assessments in accordance with each student’s individual needs. These modifications should be stated in the student’s Individualized Educational Program (IEP).
