Material will be presented through exploring concepts and discovering relationships between mathematical concepts. There will be examples, practice and exploration. Students will be given an example or exploration activity, then will work with the instructor to understand problems then they will solve problems on their own. We will do fun interactive projects.
Homework will be assigned to keep skills sharp. Assessments will be used to track student progress. Please request a letter grade if required. Students should expect to spend 2 to 3 hours a week outside of class on homework.
