basic arithmetic to elementary school
students. Successful students demonstrate
knowledge of place value; acquire
knowledge and develop skills in the four
basic arithmetic operations using both
standard and alternative algorithms for
whole numbers, fractions, and decimals;
and apply logic and problem-solving
strategies to deepen their understanding
of math concepts and content of elementary
school curriculum. Students must
be concurrently enrolled in EDEL 1410.
Prerequisites: Completion of MATH 0920
with a grade of C or better (or equivalent
placement test score) or Level 2 on the
Math Placement Exam or a Math ACT of
21 or Math SAT of 600.

Using elementary probability theory, they
predict the chance of future events. Using
algebra, they generalize and communicate
patterns. Prerequisite: Completion
of MATH 1100 with a grade of C or better.
MATH 1400
(4 cr.)
