Algebraic+Literacy

//Algebraic Literacy: The Second Course //

Introducing Algebraic Literacy In the "New Life" model, we call for two basic courses -- one is "MLCS" (Mathematical Literacy for College Students) and the other is "Algebraic Literacy".

** Purpose of course: ** The Algebraic Literacy course prepares students for mathematics pathways which include college algebra, pre-calculus, finite mathematics, and/or statistics. The focus is on building understanding of mathematical systems, with a dual emphasis on symbolism and application; some symbolism is presented without context. Some students will enter the Transitions course as their first experience with mathematics at college, while others will be coming from the Mathematical Literacy for College Students course. For students about to enter a STEM pathway, additional topics might be needed (as identified in the outcomes). Use of graphing technologies is assumed throughout."Content" -- Goals and Outcomes
