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

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
