Course Description
Introductory topics in statistics, probability, geometry (including shapes, congruence, relationships, constructions, and the Pythagorean theorem), and measurement are studied. This course may be used to satisfy one of the two mathematics requirements for an associate in science degree in Elementary Education. IAI: M1 903.
Prerequisite(s)
MATH 1613 with a grade of C or better - Must be completed prior to taking this course.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Use the mathematical processes and give examples of what they can be used to do (applications, problem solving, understanding skill, concrete pictorial abstract measurement and number systems of geometry).
  • Perform operations with integers, rational numbers and real numbers, with an introduction to algebra, statistics, probability, geometric shape and geometric using coordinates.
