Weaving SAT Prep into our Investigations

We are approximately in our second week of intermittent SAT prep on Number and Operations. (Only double-period time is spent on these topics) and students have been made aware that they are accountable for all of the material we cover even though the philosophy here is one of enrichment. While the SAT is a standardized test students will not see for another three years, the breadth and depth of questions and the dynamics of the test are such that it is highly advantageous for us to explore these concepts at this level.
