MATH1345

Meets MN Transfer Curriculum Goal Area 4 - Mathematical/Logical Reasoning. This course explores mathematics with activities to help students investigate mathematical properties and relate mathematical ideas in discrete math, geometry, probability, and statistics. Problem solving, modeling, and explaining mathematics will be emphasized in all topics. This is the second of two courses designed to provide the necessary foundation for students interested in elementary education licensure. Student Learning Outcomes

• Explain the basic mathematical concepts that form the foundation of
  statistics, probability, discrete math, and geometry.
• Demonstrate mathematical reasoning skills and formal logic to develop
  convincing mathematical arguments.
• Solve problems using appropriate mathematical techniques.
• Communicate mathematical understanding to others verbally and in written form.
• Model mathematics with pictures and manipulatives.
• Demonstrate and apply critical thinking skills to solve a variety of problems.
• Utilize a systematic approach to problem solving which incorporates
  verbal, numeric, visual, and symbolic strategies.
• Explain the connections between mathematical concepts and procedures.
