Critical Math for the ACT

High school math teachers face continued pressure to raise ACT scores, which play a critical role in the assessment of both students and schools. How do you balance the expectations between developing conceptual understanding and reaching proficiency? A closer look at the ACT College and Career Readiness Standards and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (WI State Standards), including middle school standards, reveals critical connections.

In this workshop:

• You will compare these sets of standards and consider implications for your classroom instruction, how Standards for Mathematical Practice come into play and explore sample items.
• Collaborate with colleagues around ways to address student achievement on this assessment.
• Explore AI to help create grade level specific and rigorous questions.

Teams of middle and high school teachers are encouraged to attend, as well as administrators.
