The Use of Algebra III as an Effectlve Means of Improving Mathematical Competencies For Marginally Successful Mathematics Students
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of marginally successful math students taking a third year of algebra their senior year in high school. A questionnaire was administered to high school graduates who had taken Algebra III in their senior year and to graduates who had taken two years of algebra and a year of geometry but had not taken a math course their senior year. The study compared the grades made by each group in the first course in college algebra. Graduates from three high schools in a large school district In Georgia completed the questionnaire. The responses were analyzed by examining the percentages and frequency counts and by doing a Ch1-square analysis on the obtained data.
