TASC Preparation - Mathematics Part 2
Course Description:
The Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) Preparation Courses were developed by aligning Plato Courseware with the strands and topics that are assessed on the TASC Test.Each unit aligns to one or more objectives within the TASC Test and the modules within each unit target the essential concepts of the Common Core State Standards as assessed on theTASC test. The TASC Test for Math is the study of algebraic problem solving skills, and concepts related to geometric, probability and statistics. In this course, you will find a variety of lessons and activities to improve your knowledge and skills in these areas.
