Developmental Math I

Catalog description

This developmental gateway math is a college based course designed to quickly enable the student to progress to the next math level which can ultimately funnel entry into college based algebra. It is taught at college level because of its intensity and skill level required for quick progress towards preparedness. It is not designed as an elementary level math, nor is it taught at a lower level. This course re-enforces the skills needed to build a strong mathematical foundation for further study by reviewing applications for signed numbers, decimals, fractions, ratios and proportions, percentages, geometric formulas, order of operations, algebraic axioms, identities, laws in solving equations, solving linear equations and inequalities, factoring, rational expressions, exponents and polynomials, roots and radicals, graphing linear functions, and statistics. Completers of this course should be able to perform basic statistical information from a dataset, solve equations, and graph linear functions.
