Foundations in Science and Mathematics Summer Program: Standardized Mathematics Test Review

Standardized Mathematics Tests Review: This course is designed to help students succeed in mathematics part of any standardized test required for college admissions. Students will practice problems made publicly available by the ACT and the College Board (these organizations administer ACT and SAT, respectively). Students will be introduced to problem solving skills and quantitative thinking. The course will also focus on the best practices before and during a test. In addition to practicing mathematics problems, our aim is also to equip students with test taking skills. These two-week summer courses are designed to help local students prepare for upcoming high school science and mathematics courses. It will emphasize important introductory concepts and tools in order to provide a strong foundation for later learning. All students are welcome to attend, but keep in mind that most of these courses are designed for students who will attend high school in the fall. Session 1 begins June 3 and ends June 14. Session 2 begins July 8 and ends July 19. All classes are Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Whether you are completely new to the subject or just in need of a refresher, these courses will help you understand the material presented in your high school courses. In addition, class sizes will be capped at 15 students, in order to provide more individualized attention and create a better learning environment. We offer courses in Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Astronomy, Pyschology, Neuroscience, and Computer Science. Feel free to sign up for as many courses as you wish! During each session, classes will take place in the morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, or evening. Check the schedule to see when your class takes place. Students may choose to register for up to 4 courses per session. The courses will meet three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 2 hours a day. Courses are taught by Indiana Unversity graduate students. The courses will meet in the Physics Department in Swain Hall West (727 E. Third St.), Swain Hall East (729 E. 3rd St.), Jordan Hall (1001 E. 3rd St.), Lindley Hall (150 S. Woodlawn), and the Chemistry Building (800 E. Kirkwood Ave) --- all on the IU campus.
