  • MAT 094: Preparatory Course for Algebra

    3.00 Credits
    Greenfield Community College

    A preparatory course for Introductory Algebra (MAT 105) for students with a working knowledge of arithmetic who have never had algebra before or who would benefit from a slower introduction to algebra. Students study many of the topics covered in Introductory Algebra but at a significantly more elementary level and at a slower pace. These topics include the concept of a variable, negative numbers, numeric and algebraic expressions, linear equations in one variable, positive exponents and square roots, and an introduction to graphing of equations in two variables. Students work with applications to help them understand and connect algebraic concepts to real world situations. NOTE: This course may not be used to fulfill associate degree credit requirements. Final grade of "D" will not be awarded in this course. (Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring) Prereq: MAT 090 or a score of 67 or higher on the Arithmetic placement test; COL 090 or satisfactory placement test score or concurrent enrollment. Recomm: If you've never been successful in or it has been decades since you studied introductory algebra or if you received a C or C- in MAT 090, then consider taking MAT 094 before taking MAT 105.

  • MAT 107: College Algebra

    4.00 Credits
    Greenfield Community College

    The study of functions.This course is a gateway to the study of higher level mathematics and a useful preparation for courses with quantitative content. Students investigate the principles, properties, and applications of several common types of functions from numerical, algebraic, and graphical perspectives and use these functions to model real world problems. Principle types include polynomial, rational, composite and inverse functions.The course also introduces exponential and logarithmic functions and briefly examines absolute value, root, step, and piecewise functions. Students use graphing calculators extensively. Prereq: MAT 106 (096) or satisfactory placement test scores; COL 090 and ENG 090, or satisfactory placement test scores.

  • MAT 116: Mathematics for Early Childhood and Elementary Educators

    4.00 Credits
    Greenfield Community College

    Provides prospective early childhood and elementary teachers with a mathematical foundation designed to support their future work teaching mathematics. Students build on their mathematical understanding, enhance their comprehension of the mathematical/problem-solving process, develop their confidence in exploring mathematical concepts, and communicate that understanding to others. Students do college level mathematics in the context of the following topics with particular emphasis on the first two: Number Sense and Operations; Geometry and Measurement; Patterns, Relations and Algebra; and Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability. Students become conversant with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Principles and Standards for School Mathematics and with the Massachusetts Department of Education Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks, especially as those documents pertain to the level at which the student intends to teach. (Offered: Every Fall, Every Spring) Prereq: MAT 105 (095) or a score of 67 or higher on the Arithmetic placement test and a score of 72 or higher on the Algebra placement test; must be an Early Childhood Education or Liberal Arts/Education Option major or have permission from a full-time math or education faculty person; COL 090 and ENG 090, or satisfactory placement test scores.
