*The ACT College and Career Readiness benchmark score for the ACT mathematics subtest is 22. Many of the skills a student needs to master to reach this benchmark are embedded in the Utah Core State Standards for mathematics in grades 6-8. In the middle grades, students develop an understanding of quantities, operations with rational numbers, and basic algebraic thinking. These skills are anchored in concepts introduced in earlier grades (such as fractions). Reinforcing these foundational connections as students continue into high school courses (such as Secondary Mathematics I, II, and III) is necessary for students to be successful on the foundational skills that define the readiness benchmark.
