What is the Algebra Readiness Initiative?
The purpose of the initiative is to provide mathematics intervention services to students (grades 6-9) who may be at risk of failing the Algebra I end-of-course test. The Algebra Readiness Initiative consists of a diagnostic pre-test (to identify student’s mathematical strengths and weaknesses), an intervention service (that addresses the weaknesses through 2 ½ hours of additional weekly instruction), and a post-test.
