MAT 001 - Preparation for College Math

A modularized approach to topics that prepare students for college level mathematics courses. The topics are divided into the following twelve modules: Module 1: Whole Numbers, Module 2, Fractions, Module 3: Decimals, Module 4: Integers and Introduction to Real Numbers, Module 5: Algebraic Expressions and Translations, Module 6: Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities, Module 7: Ratio, Proportion, and Percent, Module 8: Graphing Linear Equations and Inequalities in two variables, Module 70: Percentages, Absolute and Relative differences and Applications, Module 71: Graphing Calculator skills, Module 72: Equations and Critical Thinking, Module 73: Graphing, Linear Regression and Slope as a rate of Change. Module 80: Systems of Linear Equations in two and three variables, Module 81: Exponents and Polynomials, Module 82: Factoring Polynomials, Module 83: Radical Expressions and Equations, Module 84: Quadratic functions and equations, Module 85: Rational Expressions and Equations. Students will be placed into the appropriate module for their math preparation and discipline.

Students testing into Algebra 2 or Intermediate Algebra will be placed into one of two tracks depending on their intended pathway. Track one contains modules 70 through 73 and is intended for Non-STEM, Non-Business majors. Track two contains modules 80 through 85 is intended for Business Transfer and STEM majors.

A student needing to master any topics in these Modules will be placed into MAT 001.

Students can complete as many modules as they are able but must complete a minimum of 4 modules to earn a passing grade in this course. 3 hours classroom/1 hour lab. Students enroll in MAT001, 002,003 or 004.

Note(s): MAT 001 is part of the Ramp-Up Math program, which is a modularized approach to topics that prepare students for college level mathematics courses.
