This is the ultimate Test Preparation book for high school students preparing to take the AIMS Mathematics examination. This book is filled with hundreds of solved problems to help students study and review the material that will appear on the actual examination.
Based on the latest standards of the test, the book takes you step-by-step through every topic and more than 100 subtopics that will appear on the actual exam. Regardless of the types of questions that will appear on the test, students will be completely prepared by using this book.
The following major strands are covered in this book: Number Sense and Operations Data Analysis, Probability, and Discrete Mathematics Patterns, Algebra, and Functions Geometry and Measurement Structure and Logic
Laid out in a logical manner by major strands, concepts, and performance objectives, each section contains a brief explanation of how to answer the specific problems in that subtopic. To help the student retain this information, each subtopic features several questions and explained answers.
Test Taking Skills At the end of this book there is a full-length sample AIMS Mathematics test to provide students with the type of practice needed in order to get the highest possible score on the exam. By taking this exam, checking the answers, and evaluating one’s progress with the Weakness Evaluation Key at the end of the test, students will get a fair approximation of what they actually know, and be able to see what specific subtopics require additional study.
