 Based on 1.2 million high school graduates who took the ACT  College ready:  All students 42%  Females 37%, Males 47%  Whites 48%, Hispanics 25%, African Americans 11%

 College Readiness in Math by Course Taken:  Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II 14%  Algebra I, Geometry,Algebra II, Advanced Math 37%  Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Advanced Math 56%  Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Calculus 74%

 College Readiness in Math by Grades in Last Course Taken  Grades A,B  College ready 43%  NOT College ready 57%  Grades C,D,F  College ready 18%  NOT College ready 82%

 College Readiness and Student Success  Students who are college ready in Math are more likely to  Enroll in college (77% vs. 60%)  Earn grades of B or better in their first college level math course (53% vs. 31%)  Earn college GPAs of 3.0 or higher (61% vs. 35%)  Return for their second year (81% vs. 67%)

What Matters?  High-level course content  Well-qualified teachers  Flexible pedagogical styles  Tutorial support What Can Be Done?  Alignment between high schools and colleges at the state and local level  End-of-course exams Source: C. Schmeiser, State of College Readiness in Mathematics.

What Characterizes a “Good” Mathematics Classroom?

1. Precision: Mathematical statements are clear and unambiguous. At any moment, it is clear what is known and what is not known. 2. Definitions: They are the bedrock of the mathematical structure. They are the platform that supports reasoning. No definitions, no mathematics. Basic Characteristics Important for Math Teaching By H. Wu

3. Reasoning: The lifeblood of mathematics. The engine that drives problem solving. Its absence is the root cause of teaching- and learning by-rote. 4. Coherence: Mathematics is a tapestry in which all the concepts and skills are interwoven. It is all of a piece. 5. Purposefulness: Mathematics is goal-oriented, and every concept or skill is there for a purpose. Mathematics is not just fun and games. Basic Characteristics Important for Math Teaching By H. Wu
