Credit hours

2 remediation (in-house) credits with a Pass/Fail grade scheme

Prerequisites

Math 0099 with a grade of C or better and concurrent enrollment in the Math 1175C
course with the same section number.

Course Description

This course provides active support for students taking Math 1175 through the use of a just in time remediation approach. Students in this class will also be taking Math 1175 with the same instructor concurrently. The additional two hours per week is used to review and develop key mathematical skills necessary to fully succeed in Math 1175.

Course Objectives

1. Develop the critical thinking and study skills necessary for success in Math 1175
2. Make the transition from developmental mathematics to Math 1175
3. Reach a level of mathematical maturity necessary for success in Math 1175

Learning Outcomes

1. Perform mathematical operations with whole numbers, integers, decimals and fractions without a calculator
2. Solve computational problems involving whole numbers, integers, decimals and fractions
3. Simplify and work with ratios, rates and proportions
4. Convert between percentages, fractions and decimals
5. Solve problems using the percent equation proportion
6. Simplify algebraic expressions
7. Solve linear equations and inequalities of one variable
8. Use linear equations in one variable to solve word problems
9. Plot ordered pairs and produce ordered pair solutions of two variable equations
10. Construct equations of lines in slope intercept form and interpret graphs
