Focus of this course is reinforcing basic arithmetic skills, which should provide a strong mathematical foundation to pursue further study. Therefore, emphasizes will be placed on fundamental numerical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. As well as, focus on percentages, ratios and proportions, rational numbers, and introductory algebraic concepts. Upon completion, students should be able to perform basic computations and solve relevant, multi-step mathematical problems using technology where appropriate. A grade of “C” or better is required for successful completion of this course. While this is a structured, self-paced computer-assisted instruction course, it will benefit the student who is self-motivated and possesses basic computer literacy skills.
