Welcome to Math Support. This course provides students with thorough
preparation for the CAHSEE mathematics test required for graduation,
and for the CAT6 portion of the STAR9 state standardized test. Students are
introduced to new concepts and use them in problem solving situations. The
main focus will be a transition from arithmetic operations to equation and
variable manipulation. Students will develop reasoning skills and the
vocabulary of mathematics in alignment with the California Mathematics
Content Standards. Success is enhanced by good reading comprehension and
study skills.
