4JC Complete Review for SAT* Math, 2014-2015: Learn from examples. Master through practice. Achieve higher scores..

- Objective

As an avid teacher, I am constantly identifying student training needs for the SAT exam, evaluating effectiveness of resources, and developing strategies and tools for the students. I believe that having a good book is the first step toward success! This is an excellent  ready-to-use book for students to do a self-study or for teachers to run an SAT math class.
The unique strengths of this book:   

1. During math review, no student wants to be overloaded with too much text reading. Rather, he or she wants to learn how to solve problems as quickly as possible, with clear directions. Therefore, I base my book on Teaching through Examples, which is a quick and clear way of learning.   

2. I focus on teaching the important and foundation SAT math skills, and explain and demonstrate the problem solving strategies that help to strengthen students' math knowledge to give them confidence in answering the SAT questions correctly.   

3. "Practice makes perfect," is crucial to math review, hence the well thought-out structure and exhaustive practices and solutions in every chapter. The best strategies to solve problems are also taught and demonstrated in the lessons and practice solutions.   

A wise proverb says, "I see, I remember; I do, I understand." The objective of this book is to see through examples and remember, do through practice and understand.

Each section contains various chapters that teach problem-solving skills, and each chapter includes practices and solutions. The book includes five practice tests to familiarize students with the SAT testing format. Very little text reading is required, as the relevant examples work as the fundamental teaching tool. The practice drills with solutions and sample tests make the learning internalized and complete.
