Description:

(formerly MATH-H102) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H095 (Elementary Algebra) oran appropriate score on a college placement exam. The main themes of Intermediate Algebra are functions, represented by tables, graphs, and rules, and problem solving. The study of polynomial functions is extended via applications involving linear functions, linear systems, and quadratic functions. Students also study exponential functions, rational functions, radical functions, and absolute value functions. A graphing calculator is strongly recommended. This may be used as a general elective; this will not fulfill a mathematics requirement in any degree program. MAT*H143 Math for Elementary Ed: Algebra, Number Systems Mathematics for Elementary Education I (formerly MATH-H143) 3 cr. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or better in MAT*H137 or an appropriate scoreon a college placement exam. This course is designed for students planning to become certified in early childhood, elementary or middle school level education. Problem solving strategies will be developed and integrated throughout, in accordance with the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Topics include conceptual and relational understanding of the real numbers, including the subsets of whole numbers, integers, rational and irrational numbers, with an emphasis on place value and the associated operations. Topics from numeration systems, number theory, and set theory will be developed as needed, with regular use of manipulatives and technology.
