MATH0910 Math Pathways Plus for College and Careers
This course is designed for students to establish a foundation for problem solving and critical thinking used in college level mathematics and career applications. Topics include practical applications of real numbers, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and algebraic equations. This course is taken at a slower pace than MATH0920, so that strategies for learning mathematics and a review of basic skills can be integrated throughout.
Prerequisite
Qualifying score on reading assessment test OR
ENGL0901 with a grade of "C" or better and Qualifying score on math assessment test
MATH0800
