for only one of the following courses:<br />
MATH 130 or MATH 130H.)<br />
This course is designed for students<br />
majoring in business, social sciences,<br />
and life sciences. This course provides<br />
an overview of descriptive and<br />
inferential statistics. The students<br />
learn to read, interpret and present<br />
data in a well-organized way. This<br />
includes frequency distributions,<br />
graphs, measures of central tendency<br />
and variability, correlation and<br />
linear regression. While discussing<br />
inferential statistics, the students<br />
learn to make generalizations about<br />
populations. This includes probability,<br />
sampling techniques, confidence<br />
intervals, and hypothesis tests.<br />

MATH 140<br />
Mathematics for Elementary Teachers<br />
Prerequisite: MATH 070 or MATH<br />
070D with a grade of “C” or better or<br />
appropriate assessment<br />
Advisory: ENGL 035 or ESL 198 or<br />
appropriate assessment; READ 023 or<br />
appropriate assessment<br />
Transfers to: UC, CSU<br />
This course is designed to deepen and<br />
extend the student’s understanding<br />
of the foundations of the mathematics<br />
taught in elementary school. Because<br />
it is intended for the student preparing<br />
to teach at that level, it frequently<br />
refers to and uses materials and<br />
methodology appropriate for students<br />
at that level, but it is not a methods<br />
course. The course is concept-driven<br />
with an emphasis on problem solving.<br />
Concrete manipulatives are used to<br />
give meaning to abstract mathematical<br />
concepts. Topics include numeration<br />
and place value concepts, models<br />
and algorithms for operations with<br />
whole numbers, integers, fractions<br />
and decimals, and the structure and<br />
properties of the real number system.<br />

Prerequisite: MATH 060 and MATH<br />
140 with a grade of “C” or better<br />
Transfers to: CSU<br />
Math 141 is a continuation of Math<br />
140. Topics include probability,<br />
statistics, informal geometry in two<br />
and three dimensions, coordinate<br />
geometry, measurement, similarity,<br />
tessellations, constructions, and an<br />
introduction to Euclidean geometry.<br />
