Description
Students will review basic skills in algebra, linear relations and systems of equations. Students will be able to solve problems in logical reasoning, rates, systems of inequalities and quadratics. Students will be able to look for patterns, make inferences, draw models, simplify problems, eliminate possibilities and develop alternative approaches to mathematical problems. Students will use a calculator to evaluate complex expressions using special keys to perform a variety of functions.
Both MATH 0862 and MATH 0872 are required for ABE Advanced Level Foundations of Mathematics.
The use of a graphing calculator or other technology is optional.
