MATH 0235 - Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning Lab2 credit hours. 2 lecture hours. 0 lab hours.
Prerequisites: Student must be assessed at BASE level 4 on the TSI ABE Diagnostic.
Corequisites: MATH 0435
Prereq/Corequisites: Student must be assessed at BASE level 4 on the TSI ABE Diagnostic.
Topics in mathematics such as arithmetic operations, basic algebraic concepts and notation, geometry, and real and complex number systems. This intervention is designed specifically for students assessed at BASE level 4 and must be part of a student’s co-enrollment (corequisite):
• as a mainstreamed intensifier providing contact hours for additional, just-in-time instructional support for the student’s success in the developmental math course, or
• as a contextualized and/or integrated basic skills instructional support for a Career/Technical Education course.
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
| |
| Upon successful completion of this course, students will: |
| Develop number sense and the ability to apply concepts of numeracy to investigate and describe quantitative relationships and solve real-world problems in a variety of contexts. |
| Use proportional reasoning to solve problems that require ratios, rates, proportions, and scaling. |
| Transition from specific and numeric reasoning to general and abstract reasoning using the language and structure of algebra to investigate, represent, and solve problems. |
| Understand and critically evaluate statements that appear in the popular media (especially in presenting medical information) involving risk and arguments based on probability. |
| Understand, interpret, and make decisions based on financial information commonly presented to consumers. |
| Understand that quantitative information presented in the media and by other entities can sometimes be useful and sometimes be misleading. |
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a Math Tutorial Center. The Main Campus lab will be open a minimum of 40 hours each week and will be staffed by the Lab Coordinator, math faculty members, or peer tutors. Labs in Hutto and Taylor will be open a limited number of hours as posted at these facilities. Hours vary each semester. Check with Center Directors for available tutoring at the Hutto and Taylor locations.
While every effort has been made to align our pre-requisites with the majority of major receiving institutions, it is ultimately the learner’s responsibility to be aware of his/her institution’s particular pre-requisites. MyLabsPlus is used in most classes.
