3.00 Credits
This course is the first of a two-semester sequence designed for the prospective New York State teaching bands Birth-2, 1-6, 5-8, and Birth-6. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution in Early Childhood, Childhood, or Middle Childhood Education should take this course. Students will develop an understanding of the mathematical curriculum recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM) Standards. Topics include: problem solving, sets, whole numbers, functions, numeration systems, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and number theory. A hands-on problem solving technology-based approach will be emphasized throughout this course. Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra with college placement testing at MTH 155 or above OR successful completion of MTH 125 (Intermediate Algebra). 3 cr. 3 Lec. (Per Departmental Standards Version of MTH 148, approved by Academic Affairs on 3/18/04).
