SAT Math Workshop Curriculum

SAT Math Curriculum

A structured SAT Math preparation plan focused on conceptual mastery, multi-step reasoning, timed practice, mock testing, and final review.

Diagnostic to Final Review SAT-Style Module Practice Concept Mastery + Exam Realism
This curriculum supports both the Summer SAT Math Workshop and the Fall SAT Math Workshop.

SAT Math Exam Structure Alignment

  • Total Questions: 44
  • Adaptive Modules: 2 modules, about 22 questions each
  • Algebra: about 13 to 15 questions
  • Advanced Math: about 13 to 15 questions
  • Problem Solving & Data Analysis: about 5 to 7 questions
  • Geometry & Trigonometry: about 5 to 7 questions

Learning Model

  • Diagnostic: identify patterns and weak areas early
  • Concept Mastery: build the core algebra, functions, data, geometry, and trigonometry skills
  • Advanced Reasoning: train multi-step question recognition and method selection
  • Simulation: practice SAT-style modules, review mistakes, and finalize test strategy

Curriculum Map

The plan moves from diagnostic mapping into high-weight skill development, then into SAT-style simulation and final strategy.

Phase 1

Diagnostic & Performance Mapping

Hour 1: Diagnostic Review & Error Analysis

  • Review diagnostic SAT Math test
  • Identify error patterns: conceptual, procedural, and interpretation-based
  • Categorize weaknesses by SAT domain
  • Build personalized learning roadmap
  • Introduce the Digital SAT Math structure
Phase 2

Algebra Mastery: High-Weight Core

Hours 2–15: Algebra Skill Development

  • Linear equation translation and modeling
  • Multi-step equations and inequalities
  • Systems of equations: elimination and word problems
  • Linear functions and slope interpretation
  • Absolute value equations
  • Formula rearrangement and algebraic manipulation
  • Exponent rules and expressions
  • Real-world linear applications
  • Integrated algebra reasoning practice
Hour 10.5: Hybrid Algebra Reasoning Drill Multi-step SAT-style problems combining algebra and data interpretation, with concept selection training: “Which method applies first?”
Phase 3

Advanced Math Mastery

Hours 16–29: Functions, Polynomials & Nonlinear Systems

  • Function notation, domain, and range
  • Quadratic equations: factoring and quadratic formula
  • Vertex form and optimization interpretation
  • Polynomial and rational expressions
  • Radical expressions and equations
  • Exponential functions and growth models
  • Function transformations, composition, and inverses
  • Nonlinear reasoning and equation structures
Hour 24.5: Advanced Function Integration Drill Hybrid problems combining quadratics, functions, and algebraic structures, with emphasis on structural interpretation and equation translation.
Phase 4

Problem Solving & Data Analysis

Hours 30–33: PSDA Core Skills

  • Ratios and proportional reasoning
  • Percent change and applications
  • Data interpretation: tables, graphs, and charts
  • Probability and statistical reasoning combined into a conceptual framework
Phase 5

Geometry & Trigonometry

Hours 34–36: Geometry & Trigonometry Core

  • Angle relationships: parallel lines and transversals
  • Circle geometry: arcs, chords, and sectors
  • Right triangle trigonometry: sin, cos, and tan
  • Coordinate geometry connections
Phase 6

SAT Simulation and Final Review

Hour 37: Module 1 Simulation

  • 22-question SAT-style mixed module
  • Covers all four SAT Math domains
  • Establishes baseline performance level
  • Simulates Digital SAT Module 1 structure

Hour 38: Module 2-Style Practice

  • Module 2-style practice based on student performance
  • Timed mixed practice with careful review
  • Focus on accuracy, pacing, and problem selection

Hour 39: Mock Test Review

  • Full diagnostic breakdown by SAT domain
  • Error clustering and root-cause analysis
  • Identification of final weak areas

Hour 40: Final Strategy & Master Review

  • Test-day pacing strategy
  • Question selection heuristics
  • Final formula consolidation
  • Confidence and readiness reinforcement
