Level UP Your ACT® Math Score is designed to support student success on the math portion of the ACT® test. Students who have successfully completed the course increased their math subtest score by 3.4 scaled points, on average.
Level UP provides students access to instructional videos from licensed teachers, practice problems, quizzes, homework assignments and two full-length practice ACT® Math tests. Level UP is designed to increase student confidence on the math portion of the test through modeling, self-assessment and goal setting. The course is a hybrid approach that combines presentations, instructional videos and printed practice materials for students. This course can be facilitated by most adults, even if they are not math teachers. The Level UP Your ACT® Math book can be purchased on Amazon.com. Discounted rates are available for schools and non-profit organizations.
Level UP Your ACT® Math Score was designed to be taught in 10, 90-minute sessions. The course is divided into three parts that correspond with the structure of the ACT® test itself: novice (three sessions), intermediate (three sessions) and advanced (two sessions). There are also sessions dedicated to the pre-test (at the beginning of the course) and post-test (at the end of the course). In each instructional session, students complete practice problems, watch video solutions and take two quizzes. Students complete brief self-assessments after every problem and quiz to encourage ownership for learning. Between most instructional sessions, there are two homework assignments. All practice problems, quizzes, homework assignments and practice tests are contained in the Level UP Your ACT® Math book. Students can access video solutions to every practice problem and homework assignment using QR codes in the book, or by searching the Summit Education Initiative YouTube channel.
Remember: Level UP is about student ownership, confidence and practice. Keep this in mind as you plan your work, and you are sure to be successful.
Pre-Test and Goal Setting
In the first session of the Level UP Your ACT® Math Score, students complete and score a full-length practice math test. This provides a baseline score for every student at the start of the program. After completing the test and the self-assessment, students also write down their goals for the post-test. When students set goals and write down a plan to achieve those goals, their scores improve.
