Student Learning Outcomes

This course is designed to provide developmental mathematics instruction and essential foundational skills for students enrolled concurrently in a linked section of MATH 1341 Elements of Math I. Topics will parallel topics being studied in MATH 1341. This course emphasizes use of manipulatives to model mathematical processes, communication about mathematical ideas, and development of critical thinking ability and quantitative literacy through problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, equation-solving, and math success strategies. This is a college-readiness course and does not fulfill a college goal area requirement.
