1. This document provides a list of math facts and concepts that are important to know for the SAT Math section. It includes topics like slope, percent problems, geometry formulas, and working with fractions, decimals, and integers. 2. Students are given examples to practice these concepts, with problems about solving equations, simplifying expressions, finding slopes of lines, and using the Pythagorean theorem. 3. The document emphasizes remembering formulas like the slope formula, properties of parallel and perpendicular lines, and being able to identify key information in word problems and figures related to math concepts on the SAT.
