A note to the teacher...
prACTice 4 successis a collection of worksheets intended to offer high school students, who have completed algebra and geometry, steady practice on problems similar to those encountered on the math portion of the ACT. Each worksheet has 3 problems and the students should be given exactly 3 minutes time to work them out. These worksheets can be used as a daily warm-up routine for the first five or so minutes of class time. It is important for the teacher to spend a few minutes going over the answers and possible strategies for solving the problems after the students complete each worksheet. We rec- ommend that the teacher collects and grades each worksheet, keeping track of the total number of problems each student gets correct throughout the year. It may even be useful to design a game to go with these worksheets in order to hold the students" interest and motivate them to do their best while competing with their classmates. prACTice1
