Strategies used for reading intervention are often applied to mathematics with unintended consequences. Watch this edWebinar to make sense of strategies to facilitate math small-group instruction effectively to ensure more equitable practices, and to create a shared image of teacher and student behaviors through authentic videos of pulled small group instruction in mathematics.


IntoMath free online math quizzes, games, activities, learning strategies and an online math forum provide students with additional opportunities to ensure they are successful in math.

Students can improve and solidify their understanding of thousands of math concepts by taking our interactive online math quizzes and/or playing lesson-based games.


IntoMath offers downloadable free math lessons and free math worksheets for grades 5 through 12. These math lessons and worksheets are based on specific topics and are aimed at helping students improve their basic, as well as advanced math skills.


Self-assessment is very important, especially when studying mathematics. IntoMath free online math quizzes provide an opportunity to quickly and effectively check understanding and see what needs to be improved. There are over 200 quizzes on the IntoMath platform and more are added to help students check their understanding of math concepts they learn.


IntoMath offers a whole separate section on financial literacy. From learning how to get a credit card to understanding how taxes work to learning more about mortgages. Check out the Financial Literacy section that also contains useful financial calculators.


Not necessarily. It all depends on setting up a study plan and following it. IntoMath provides study materials in a logical sequence covering the concepts students usually struggle with. Working through IntoMath lessons, worksheets and online math quizzes can help improve your understanding significantly.


The assessment is an open format that does not use multiple choice questions; students may find the experience substantially different from many standardized examinations. The assessment is two hours. Only proctored assessments are valid for placement into UT Dallas math courses. We strongly urge you to bookmark this page until you no longer need ALEKS. For questions, email al...@utdallas.edu.


Whether you are a new freshman, transfer, or continuing student, students can be placed into math courses only by satisfying the pre-requisite requirements. You can see all of the math pre-requisite requirements in the Undergraduate Catalog.



ALEKS is used as a pre-requisite for certain math courses. Any student wanting to use ALEKS to place into a math course should consult the undergraduate catalog, linked above, to verify that ALEKS can be used as a pre-requisite for the desired math course desired.


New students, both freshmen and transfer, as well as continuing students, may also use college math credit taken in several ways for math placement. Credit can be applied through completion of credit by exam including AP, IB and CLEP.


IMPORTANT: You must complete the unproctored practice test before taking the test proctored. Be sure you have followed the summary of steps. Your scheduled time to proctor with the Testing Center should be no earlier than the 48 hour cooling down period after completing an unproctored practice test or a proctored test attempt.


The Secondary Mathematics Pathway offers students multiple decision points for acceleration in middle and high school and provides various options for career and college readiness. As stated in the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools:


Math acceleration in IUSD begins in seventh grade through content compaction, ensuring that all state standards are learned in a progression that provides a solid foundation for future learning. IUSD elementary students needing enrichment in mathematics will engage in learning experiences that allow for greater depth of understanding in grade level content and application of procedural skills, fluency, and grade level concepts in problem solving.


Math placement for secondary students is based on multiple measure criteria. The target course for students is the grade level course. The target course provides the depth and foundation that is critical for future learning and provides a path of instruction that meets high school graduation and UC entrance requirements.


Students' individual mathematics course sequences in middle and high school are determined using the multiple measures for placement. Figures 2 and 3a-3c depict the criteria needed for math placement into middle school and high school integrated courses. In middle school (figure 2), MS Math 7 and MS Math 8 represent the respective target, or grade level, courses. MS Summer Bridge is a summer school course offered to Math 7 students who meet the criteria for acceleration and choose to enroll in a rigorous, accelerated summer placement. MS Enhanced Math 7/8 and MS Enhanced Math I represent three years of math content (Math 7, Math 8, and Math I) compacted into two years of accelerated instruction. Upon successful completion of the two year accelerated middle school sequence, students have completed the target course for 9th grade as outlined by the state content standards. In high school (figures 3a, 3b, and 3c), Math I, Math II, and Math III represent target courses. Math I AB and Math I CD are support classes, each providing instruction on half of the Math I content, along with prerequisite content standards. HS Summer Bridge is a summer school course offered to Math II students who meet the criteria for acceleration and choose to enroll in a rigorous, accelerated summer placement. Enhanced Math II and AP Pre Calculus represent three years of math content (Math II, Math III, and Precalculus) compacted into two years of accelerated instruction. Math placement guideline charts arranged by prerequisite course can be found in Appendix A.


Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e, 3f, 3g High School Student Math Placement, Integrated Math Courses. The figures outline the criteria needed and course sequences in the transition from middle school and high school integrated math courses.


Students, parents, or teachers may request an appeal upon receiving notification of final placement. An appeal is made with the current school administrator or designee within the timeframe specified on the IUSD website.


Appeal requests will lead to either 1) approval of the request with progress monitoring measures in the accelerated courses 2) approval for additional evidence of student content knowledge to determine final placement, or 3) denial of request for accelerated placement at this time.


Aggregate student math placement data will be analyzed and presented to the IUSD School Board annually. The aggregate data will be used to ensure there is no disproportionate impact on mathematics placement based on student race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic background.


The math placement of all 9th grade students will be reviewed within the first month of school to determine student learning strengths and needs. Data from an external assessment and standardized tests, if available, will be used to reevaluate individual student progress, prerequisite content knowledge, and appropriateness of placement.


In the final year of my physics degree I found a new interest in differential geometry. I even completed a graduate course on the subject and have been studying on my own. This eventually resulted in getting bad grades for my physics modules (few Fs).


First, they will generally not have "a few Fs" -- that's going to look rather bad on your transcript, in particular since it is at the end of your studies. If you had had a semester of this sort at the beginning, it would be possible to explain it away in your essay as "I needed to grow up, but as you can see in my transcript, I have gotten through this phase of my life and my recent semesters were all As". So that is an issue you have to think about how you can address or remedy.


Second, most of your competition is from people who were math undergraduates, have taken all foundational math courses with good grades, and have typically taken a few graduate math courses. You have taken one -- that's good --, but it will remain unclear to anyone looking at your application how broad your math undergraduate education really is, and how you would do with the graduate math breadth requirement most departments have.


So, long story short, I'm afraid what you currently have isn't particularly safe as far as getting admitted is concerned. I would see whether you can stay at your home institution for another year, for example, to fill in the holes in your transcript (more breadth in your math courses, maybe more graduate math courses, good grades).


The best thing for you to do is apply to a Master's program abroad to raise your competitiveness for PhD programs down the line--and sadly, you can expect to fund it yourself. Simply consider that there are very few graduate schools that would fund a student from a foreign university in a small country, who has a few failing grades on their transcript (even if in a different field; after all, physics and math are very closely related). If you can get into a master's, you have the opportunity to really build up your mathematical background and make up for this deficit, hopefully making yourself more competitive. It will be a significant struggle, but it is possible.
