MATH 128 Concepts of Mathematics II
This course is the second course in a sequence intended primarily for students in the elementary and early childhood education programs. Topics include metric and non-metric geometry, dimensional analysis, congruence and similarity, and coordinate and transformational geometry. Problem-solving techniques are emphasized including the appropriate use of calculators and computers. This is a general education core course for designated education programs only.
Prerequisite
C or better in
MATH 070 or appropriate score on the mathematics placement test
Hours Weekly
4 hours weekly
Course Objectives
- Communicate mathematical concepts about relationships among points, lines, and planes, the image of a geometric reflection, and the characteristics of a variety of polygons including symmetry using appropriate symbols, notation, and vocabulary.
- Solve application problems involving similar triangles, and other similar figures, translations, and rotations, three-dimensional
geometry, and application problems involving measurement, mass, and temperature. - Identify and implement appropriate technologies to efficiently complete tasks that involve the solving of cross-discipline, mathematically appropriate problems and creating new works to communicate the processes used and solution.
- Analyze, evaluate, justify, and interpret the reasonableness of solutions, particularly in the area of geometric conjectures.
