IV. Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

  • Understand algebraic, geometric, and statistical concepts necessary to successfully complete Math 123.
  • Use study and time management strategies to be successful in college courses.

V. Topical Outline (Course Content)

Students will demonstrate a working knowledge of the following processes and concepts: Whole numbers (rounding, prime factorization) Integers (adding, subtracting, multiplying dividing) Rational Numbers (GCF, LCM, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, converting between fractions and decimals) Variable Expressions (evaluating, combining like terms, using the distributive property) Solving Linear Equations (general first-order linear equations, mixture problems, uniform motion problems) Proportion and Percent (ratios, writing percents as decimals or fractions, use the basic percent equation, simple interest, percent increase and decrease, markup and discount) Polynomials (adding, subtracting, multiplying) Integer Exponents and Scientific Notation Factoring (GCF, trinomials, quadratic equations) Linear Equations in Two Variables (rectangular coordinate system, graphing points, x- and y-intercepts, slope, applications) Functions (function notation, linear functions) Radical Expressions (simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, irrational numbers, real numbers) Measurements (metric system, conversions) Geometry (perimeter, area, volume) Statistics (graphs, mean, median, mode) Critical thinking (inductive, deductive reasoning) Problem Solving (understand the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan, and check the answer) Systems of linear equations (solve systems with two variables) Consumer mathematics and financial management (percents, interest, mortgages)
