Transitional Math Courses
MATH 055- Basic Math (2cr)-Helps students develop a proficiency of the
fundamental mathematic skills needed to prepare for further studies in
mathematics. Topics include operations with whole numbers including:
adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. An introduction to fractions
will be added if time allows. Techniques to reduce math and test anxiety,
time management, and math test taking skills will also be emphasized.
MATH 058-Pre Algebra I (2cr)-A transitional math course designed to
review the basic math skills needed for subsequent math courses. Topics
will include basic operations with whole numbers and fractions, prime
factorization, exponent notation, greatest common factor, and least
common multiples. Problem solving will be related to each topic.
Techniques to reduce math and test anxiety, time management, and math
test taking skills will also be emphasized.
MATH 059-PreAlgebra II (2 cr)-A review of basic arithmetic operations
involving decimals, ratios, percent, proportions, and order of operations.
Decimal notation and place value, rounding and estimation, conversion of
fractions to decimals, simple algebraic functions, problem solving functions,
and an introduction to signed numbers will be included. Problem solving
will be related to each topic.
MATH 066-Basic Algebra I (2cr)-Topics include: positive and negative real
numbers, solving linear equations and inequalities, and applications and
graphing of linear equations. Problem solving will be related to each topic.
Techniques to reduce math and test anxiety, time management, and math
test taking skills will also be emphasized.
MATH 067- Basic Algebra II (2cr)-Topics include: integer exponents,
operations with polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, linear
equations, graphing of lines, radical expressions, solving systems of
equations, and solving quadratic equations. Problem solving will be related
to each topic. Techniques to reduce math and test anxiety, time
management, and math test taking skills will also be emphasized.
MATH 157-Combined Basic Algebra and Intermediate Algebra (5 cr)-This
one semester, accelerated course is an intermediate algebra course
combined with a review of basic algebra. Topics include: algebraic
operations on polynomial, rational, and exponential functions. Students will
solve linear quadratic, rational and absolute value equations and
inequalities algebraically and graphically, systems of equations, radical
expressions, and quadratic equations. Techniques to reduce math and test
anxiety, time management, and math test taking skills will also be
emphasized. Upon completion, students should be able to apply algebraic
concepts in problem solving using appropriate technology.
MATH 158-Intermediate Algebra I (2cr) –Topics include operations with
real numbers and algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, absolute
value equations, graphs and functions, systems of equations and
inequalities and problem solving. Techniques to reduce math and test
anxiety, time management, and math test taking skills will also be
emphasized. Upon completion, students should be able to apply algebraic
concepts in problem solving using appropriate technology.
MATH 159-Intermediate Algebra II (2cr) –Topics will include operations
with polynomials and polynomial functions, rational expressions, rational
exponents, radicals, and complex numbers, and quadratic equations and
functions. Techniques to reduce math and test anxiety, time management,
and math test taking skills will also be emphasized. Upon completion,
students should be able to apply algebraic concepts in problem solving
using appropriate technology.
