Where do you see yourself after high school? • Military(2%) • Apprenticeship (3%) • Employment (1%) • College/University (74%) • Technical College (16%) • Undecided 2% Based on 2010 TE graduates
Important Facts: Almost all Colleges and Universities require Advanced Algebra or higher! Two-year colleges require at least two years of math – students with more are better prepared
Questions to ask yourself: What course is my proper placement? What does my middle school math teacher suggest? What does my WKCE score show? What does my MAP score show? If I am struggling, why? Effort? Homework? Testing? Understanding?
