MATH0945

This course is designed to provide developmental mathematics instruction and essential foundational skills for students enrolled concurrently in a linked section of MATH 1345 Elements of Math II. Topics will parallel topics studied in MATH 1345: statistics, probability, graph theory, and geometry. This course emphasizes communication about mathematical ideas, use of technology and manipulatives to investigate quantitative and geometric relationships, connections among the branches of mathematics, and quantitative literacy through problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, modeling processes and relationships, and math success strategies. This is a college-readiness course and does not fulfill a college goal area requirement. Concurrent enrollment in a linked section of MATH 1345 is required.

Student Learning Outcomes:

• Describe quantitative relationships, mathematical processes, and mathematical concepts using appropriate
  mathematical notation and language for the context
• Support answers by providing appropriate mathematical justifications
• Assess the reasonableness of solutions
• Interpret quantitative information
• Translate among verbal, numeric, symbolic, concrete, pictorial, and graphical forms of mathematics
• Formulate algebraic representations necessary to model and solve geometry problems
• Apply appropriate formulas to solve problems
• Utilize procedures for simplifying and manipulating numerical and algebraic expressions and equations
• Interpret graphs, descriptive statistics, and data displays
• Model quantitative information and relationships with appropriate tables, graphs, diagrams, and pictures
• Use technology and manipulatives to investigate quantitative and geometric relationships
