Course Course Title Class Lab/ Shop Clinical/ Co-op Credit

MAT 110 Mathematical Measurement and Literacy NEW VERSION 2014 2 2 0 3

Prerequisites: (DMA 010 and DMA 020 and DMA 030)

Corequisites: None

Effective Term: Fall 2014

This course provides an activity-based approach that develops measurement skills and mathematical literacy using technology to solve problems for non-math intensive programs. Topics include unit conversions and estimation within a variety of measurement systems; ratio and proportion; basic geometric concepts; financial literacy; and statistics including measures of central tendency, dispersion, and charting of data. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate the use of mathematics and technology to solve practical problems, and to analyze and communicate results.

Competencies
