AAC's Math Study Guide Series Information

The SIMS (Supplemental Instruction Modules for Science) program provides just-in-time mathematical concept review for students enrolled in gateway math and science courses.

Students complete a short Pre-quiz to help them determine which math concepts they should review. Based on the quiz results, the students select the instructional videos they should review. The videos mimic a broader approach popularized by Khan Academy, but make sure that topics are tailored for Lawrence Tech courses. The videos were created to address specific topics or skills that create stumbling blocks in gateway courses in math, biology, chemistry, and physics. The students then take the Post-quiz to test what they have just learned.
