MAT 0012L PRE-ALGEBRA LAB 1 credits

College Preparatory Credits (0000 designations) may not be used toward graduation credits. Corequisite: MAT 0018. This laboratory is to support MAT 0012, Pre-Algebra, and provide opportunities for applications of the basic skills and concepts of pre-algebra. 32 contact hours.

MAT 0018 DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS I 3 credits

This course # was formerly MAT 0012. Prerequisite(s): Appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test. This is the first course in the college-preparatory two-course sequence (MAT 0018 and MAT 0028) designed to prepare students for college-level mathematics courses. This course is a study of the basic skills and concepts of pre-algebra from the point of view of the college student who needs an understanding of pre-algebra. Major topics include operations with integers, fractions, decimals, percents, geometric figures and their measures (including application problems), and other pre-algebra topics. A minimum course grade average of C (minimum 70% accuracy) is required for successful completion. This course does not apply toward mathematics requirements in general education or toward any associate degree. 47 - 62 contact hours.

MAT 0028 DEVELOPMENTAL MATHEMATICS II 4 credits

This course # was formerly MAT 0024. Prerequisite(s): MAT 0018 or appropriate score on the SPC mathematics placement test. This is the second course in the college-preparatory two-course sequence (MAT 0018 and MAT 0028) designed to prepare students for college-level mathematics courses. This course is a study of the basic skills and concepts of basic algebra from the view of a college student who needs an understanding of basic algebra. Major topics include operations on signed rational numbers, simple linear equations and inequalities in one variable, operations on polynomials (including beginning techniques of factoring), integer exponents, brief introduction to radicals, introduction to graphing, applications, and other basic algebra topics. A minimum course grade average of C (minimum 70% accuracy) and minimum score of 70% on the Common Exit Exam is required for successful completion. This course does not apply toward mathematics requirements in general education or toward any associate degree. 47 - 62 contact hours.
