  1. Math for College Readiness

  2. Math for College Readiness • This course is designed for students who have already taken Algebra I and Geometry and could benefit from additional instruction to prepare them for success in college level math.

  3. Why are we using Aleks? • The purpose of using Aleks is to prepare each individual student to be as successful as possible on the Accuplacer college entrance exam for math so that students have a greater chance of bypassing remedial math courses in college. • For ex: at MCC there are 3 remedial math courses (THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR AND DO NOT RECEIVE COLLEGE CREDIT FOR!!) required before you are placed in a math course for credit toward your degree. It is our hope that after workinghard in this course you bypass these remedial courses (SAVE VALUABLE TIME AND $)

  5. What is the Accuplacer? • Accuplacer: a suite of computerized tests that determines your knowledge in math, reading and writing as you prepare to enroll in college-level courses. The results of the assessment, together with your academic background, goals and interests, are used by academic advisors and counselors to place you into a college course that meets your skill level. • All community colleges and most state colleges require that students take the Accuplacer. • Even if your school does not require the Accuplacer, there will be another placement test that this course will help with!!
