Topics include a review of operations with integers and rational numbers, ratios and proportions, percent, solutions of linear and quadratic equations, graphs of linear and exponential functions, linear and exponential models, introduction to data, and measures of central tendency. Lab Fee
Requisites: Next Gen ACCUPLACER® arithmetic score of at least 200, or Next Gen ACCUPLACER® quantitative reason score of at least 225, or TSMA 45 with at least a grade of C. Course Learning Outcomes:
- Perform operations and order of operations with real numbers, exponents, and negative exponents.
- Measure and convert units of length, weight, and volume in both the Metric and US systems of measure.
- Develop algebraic problem-solving strategies and apply these strategies to real-world situations.
