Designed for students with an ACT score of 12 or lower or for students needing to learn or review basic mathematics skills. Covers operations on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents with applications, ratios and proportions, signed numbers, linear equations with applications, positive integral exponents, geometry, and polynomials. Graphing and polynomial factoring will be introduced. This course is offered in two delivery formats--lecture and individualized. Lecture Format: Traditional lecture given by the instructor four days per week. Tests and assignments are done on a cohort schedule. Individualized Format: A "Placement Inventory" is used to design a personalized program of study. Students work on their programs with an instructor present for individual instruction when needed. Minimum testing deadlines must be met. Satisfies prerequisites for Math 0990. Course fee required on Individualized Format courses. 4-5 class meetings per week.

1. Require students to perform mathematical processes including whole numbers, fractions, percentages, decimals, proportions/ratios, integers, and algebraic equations.
2. Provide students with application problems that use a variety of methods including arithmetical, algebraic, and geometric.
3. Challenge students to make inferences from mathematical models that include formulas, graphs, and tables.
4. Provide students with real-life applications that use a variety of mathematical functions.

1. Perform arithmetical operations on whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and signed numbers without a calculator.
2. Complete l00 multiplication facts in 7 minutes or less with at least 90% accuracy.
3. Perform mathematical processes with percentages and use them in real-life applications.
4. Use variables to represent unknown numbers.
5. Identify geometric figures.
6. Identify geometric formulas and apply them to angles, perimeters, areas, and volumes
7. Use the mathematical processes of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, signed numbers, proportions/ratios, and algebraic equations with problems solving skills in real-life modeling exercises.
8. Graph linear equations in two variables by plotting points.
9. Go on to MATH 0930 and succeed.
