The Accuplacer Math Preparation Materials are a complete set of
resources developed to support students, and their teachers, preparing for the
ACCUPLACER® test and for success in college mathematics.
The program recognizes the importance of tailoring instructional experiences to
address students’ identified needs. The fully-searchable CD includes more than
1,400 pages of materials designed in a mix-and-match model, allowing teachers
to select appropriate lessons, activities, and components for a full course, a series
of sessions, or individual assignments. This program was piloted in “College Ready” Grant Sites and enhanced based on teacher feedback.
