MAP TOOLKIT

Do you want to improve your MAP scores? For math, look at your RIT range by goal strand for Fall 2012 (Use the index card we made in class). Use these numbers to select appropriate activities under each goal area. For example, if your RIT range for Geometry is 175-190, you would go to the click on the 171-180 and 181-190 links under Geometry and Measurement in order for find activities at your level. Since Geometry and Measurement are grouped together, you would be looking for geometry skills, such as shapes. Here is the math website:
