ACT MATH Connect

Grade Level: High School Juniors preparing to take the ACT test Materials: iPad with ACT Math Connect application, scratch paper, writing utensil Time Allocated: 20 minute activity period Objective:
 * Students will be able to practice problems similar to those found on the ACT test
 * Students will be come familiar with the layout/phrasing of questions on the ACT
 * Students will be able to take practice ACT Math Tests
 * Students can track his/her progress and performance from test to test

Lesson: A. Beginning of activity period students will be shown the icons that go across the top of the iPad (3 minutes) B. After giving the students time to look at the above, we will go into the Practice Questions iconand talk about each of the areas of the Math Test (15 minutes) Students will be told to take about 1 minute per question and I will give them a warning with 1 minute leftand talk about the fact they will receive their score immediately and if we "tap" review test we will get the solutions to each of the problems. Let the students look at a couple of their questions/answers. C. After having spent some time showing students how to move around on the ACT MATH Connect application, I will stress to them the importance of practicing for the ACT (in each of the areas tested) before taking the "real thing." Students will also be informed that there are many resources out there for practicing and this is just one example of that. ACT itself has practice questions online and in paper test booklets, ACT prep classes are available, books can be purchased and by just googling ACT many many resources will pop up.
