EXPLORE/PLAN/ACT Mathematics
Entries followed by a dagger (†) apply to the ACT Mathematics Test only.
To enhance their skills in each mathematics-related strand, students who score in the 28–32 score range may benefit from activities that encourage them to do the following:
| Score Range 28–32 |
| Basic Operations & Applications |
- solve problems that require combining multiple concepts
|
| Probability, Statistics, & Data Analysis |
- design and conduct probability investigations (e.g., how the margin of error is determined) and then determine, analyze, and communicate the results
|
| Numbers: Concepts & Properties |
- explain, solve, and/or draw conclusions for complex problems using relationships and elementary number concepts
|
| Expressions, Equations, & Inequalities |
- formulate expressions, equations, and inequalities that require planning to accurately model real-world problems (e.g., direct and inverse variation)
|
| Graphical Representations |
- solve and graph quadratic inequalities
|
| Properties of Plane Figures |
- make generalizations, arrive at conclusions based on conditional statements, and offer solutions for new situations that involve connecting mathematics with other content areas
- investigate angle and arc relationships for circles
|
| Measurement |
- examine and compare a variety of methods to find areas of composite figures and construct scale drawings
|
| Functions† |
- explore geometric models where unit circle trigonometry and basic identities can be used to solve problems†
