Essential Mathematics

Catalog description

This course focuses on computational and problem-solving skills that students need to prepare them for the mathematical prerequisites in their chosen fields of study. Additionally the course is designed to build financial skills required for life success (e.g. financial management, budgeting, and so forth). The individual mathematical topics will be covered as needed by individual students in the class based on his/her current abilities. Potential topics of study will include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, rational numbers; study and application of ratio, proportion, and percent; applied topics dealing with measurement, areas and perimeters of geometric figures, and basic descriptive statistics. This course is taught in a hybrid learning environment including (but not limited to) face-to-face instruction/lecture, online video instruction, individual one-on-one coaching/tutoring, and adaptive learning computer technology. MATH 070 course credit cannot be counted towards fulfillment of a baccalaureate or associate degree.
