MTH 212 - Fundamentals of Elementary Math II

MTH 211  or designated placement

Course Description: The second term of a three-term sequence designed to prepare pre-service elementary and middle school teachers for entrance into the Oregon teacher certification program. The course will study the topics from basic math, algebra, counting theory, probability, and statistics.

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Use problem-solving steps and problem-solving strategies to understand, analyze and solve problems.
• CLO#2: Use the attributes of measurements to describe the nature of the rational numbers.
• CLO#3: Define and give examples of primes, composites, factors and multiples; and use these effectively to simplify rational number calculations and results. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
• CLO#4: Use definitions and properties to describe operations, and operational algorithms, with rational numbers.
• CLO#5: Calculate rational number results accurately whether using mental math, paper and pencil, or computational technology.
• CLO#6: Use the concepts of probability to explain and calculate P(E), P(A and B), P(A or B), P(A | B) and odds in elementary problem situations.
• CLO#7: Use fundamental counting techniques, permutations, and combinations to determine the size of a set of outcomes.
• CLO#8: Use graphical displays of statistical information and relevant statistical measures of central tendency, variability, and relative standing.
