Prerequisites
MATH 1314 - College Algebra (3) or placement by testing. College Level Readiness in Reading AND Writing.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Apply fundamental terms of geometry such as points, lines, and planes to describe two and three dimensional figures.
- Make and test conjectures about figures and geometric relationships.
- Use a variety of methods to identify and justify congruency and similarity of geometric.
- Perform geometric transformations.
- Demonstrate fundamental probability techniques and apply those techniques to solve problems.
- Explain the use of data collection and statistics as tools to reach reasonable conclusions.
- Recognize, examine, and utilize the basic principles of describing and presenting data.
