My child is taking Integrated Algebra/Geometry classes. Will he/she be prepared to perform well on SAT and ACT tests and meet college entrance requirements?
Yes. On ACT and SAT tests, there are no significant score differences between students who take Integrated Algebra/Geometry classes and students who take traditional math classes. All colleges, including highly selective universities, accept integrated mathematics students, and those students are being successful. College-prep mathematics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry and pre-calculus are all part of the integrated math courses. In addition student learn about statistics and discrete mathematics. This content is in the context of real problems allowing students to make sense of the mathematics, remember it and apply it to new situations. In addition to math content skills, students in integrated mathematics courses develop other skills that are essential for success in the college classroom, including problem solving, collaboration, research and independent thinking.
