Preparing for the High School
Mathematics MCAS
Workshop Series
Sponsored by
The Salem State Collaborative
Description: This workshop is designed for new and veteran teachers who are interested in expanding their repertoire of lessons in order to help students prepare for the Mathematics MCAS exam. It consists of four 2.5-hour sessions, each dedicated to one of the major strands in Mathematics. The focus of each workshop will be on standards-based lessons and activities addressing a specific mathematics strand. Participants will leave each session with copies of all lessons and handout materials as well as copies of former MCAS questions for that strand to use in preparation for the coming exam. In addition, each week time will be taken in analyzing recent MCAS exams in relation to the strand being worked on.
