I have been assigned a "College Prep Math" class for this school year. The previous CPM teacher retired and did not leave many resources.

My original idea:
Day 1: syllabus, safety, etc...
Day 2: ACT Math Test
After grading, students self assess weaknesses and self assign work from AGA Courses.

Pacing: 18 weeks
Weeks 1-7: 7 - One Week Chapters in AGA course of weakness
ACT Test
Weeks 7-13: 6 - One Week Chapters in the second AGA course of weakness
ACT Test
Weeks 13-18: 5 - One Week Chapters in the AGA course of strength
Final ACT

(1st Semester). I use the KYOTE standards Exercise sets that Natalee sent me about 5 years ago. This curriculum drives my teaching. We want all students to pass KYOTE along with retaking the ACT. I also use EdReady to give students 1:1 computer time to complete/reach Mastery.

(2nd Semester). Life Prep
All real life skills activities
Lots of presenting and learning about
$$
Credit
Taxes
Jobs
Budgeting
Buy Car
Rent Apartment

Plus a whole lot more

Kahn Academy is another great resource for College Math Prep.

It is free and the kids can work on things that are specific to their learning challenges.

There is also kyote for review or test. You can print a book with kyote practice questions. Henry Clay uses.

Mike Haake, Kate Johnson, and Sarah Zehnder would be additional experts to ask about a successful College Math Prep course.

The ultimate goal is to get the math ACT score to benchmark. Goal is 22 for College Algebra.
