Math 203 Student Learning Outcomes: As a result of completing Mathematics 203, the student will be able to: 1. Analyze the structure and properties of rational and real number systems including their decimal representation and illustrate the use of a representation of these numbers including the number line model. 2. Evaluate the equivalence of numeric algorithms and explain the advantages and disadvantages of equivalent algorithms. 3. Analyze multiple approaches to solving problems from elementary to advanced levels of mathematics, using concepts and tools from sets, logic, functions, number theory and patterns. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Math 080 (grade of C or better) or qualifying profile from the Math placement process. This class has previous math knowledge as a prerequisite and it is expected that you are comfortable with algebra and geometry. If you need review work, some resources are: School Zone Math 6th Grade Deluxe Edition, (Grade 5 is also a good review of basic arithmetic skills); Schaum’s Outline series Elementary Mathematics by Barnett Rich; www.math.com; www.mathtv.com; and/or www.KhanAcademy.com.

Course Materials: Mathematics for Elementary Teachers: A Contemporary Approach, by Musser, Burger & Peterson, 10th Edition. There are 2 manuals that you may want to purchase: Student Activities Manual, ISBN: 978-1-118-45744-3 and Student Hints and Solutions Manual for Part A Problems, ISBN: 978-1-118-67925-8. Companion website: www.wiley.com/college/musser. Software: There is a free website with information at www.myopenmath.com; Your course ID: 66005 Enrollment Key: 76908

Supplies: A scientific calculator (required): TI-30XA or TI-30XIIS recommended, (graphing calculators and cell phones not allowed); graph paper, stapler, colored pens/pencils, and you may want to have a loose-leaf binder for handouts.

Math Success Center: The Math Success Center (a.k.a. MSC) is now using CraniumCafe as a FREE service provided by SCC that provides students with supplemental learning to the classroom. A math faculty member, Instructional Assistants and student tutors are always on duty to assist students with questions or concerns from their math class. The hours of operation for Spring 2020 are February 10 – June 4, Monday - Thursday: 9:30 am to 7:30 pm & Saturday: 9 am to 3 p.m.

To utilize the MSC, you must enroll in MATHCE 100. This is a Pass/No Pass, Open Entry/Open Exit noncredit lab course. You will need to complete at least 10 hours and one activity in the MSC within the 16-week semester to earn a grade of Pass (P). To find out more about the support centers, use the link: https://www.sccollege.edu/DistanceEducation/Pages/Online-SCC-Support- Centers.aspx. If you have any questions or concerns, please email the MSC at [email protected].

Cell Phone Policy: All cell phones and electronic devices must be turned “OFF” (not on “silent,” not on “vibrate,” not “on”) during the entire class period. I truly believe electronic devices are a distraction to the instructor, to other students, and to the user. My goal is to create the most effective environment conducive to learning. If there is an emergency situation, you must inform me before class begins. If you are addicted to texting, find another class immediately. Cell phones may be confiscated if this policy is violated.

Homework: Due to the stay at home order, homework will be uploaded into Canvas as an assignment. It must be in PDF form. There are several free scanning apps you can use (Scannable, GeniusScan). Some iphones even have one under the notes section. Homework will be collected for grading (dates on the attached schedule) and must be neat, complete and readable.

Journals: Each student will be required to write three journal assignments. Journals will be collected for grading on designated dates. Each journal is worth 10 points and will cover both the emotional and mathematical side of teaching. Typed journals are preferred!

Class participation: Students will be responsible for presenting homework problems at the board. Every student will be expected to complete one to two problems on the board, and it is worth 5 points. A written solution will be turned in on the day of the presentation, also worth 5 points. A list of questions will be available for signup. They will be from the “A” listed problems and will be similar to the homework problems that will be collected. Students will volunteer to write solutions and the board and then present their solutions to the class. This board work will enable students to practice verbal explanations in mathematics. It is not necessary that you understand everything when you come to class and I do not expect your responses to be entirely correct when you are in the process of learning! However, I expect that your responses will reflect the preparation and thought you invested. It is your interest, enthusiasm and effort that will make the big difference here. An additional 5 points may be awarded as a subjective measure of your participation which will include attendance, asking questions, being attentive and staying on task.

Problem Set: Depending on the success of turning in assignments remotely, there may be a problem set to be done outside of class. If so, you will turn in a draft to be graded. You will include the draft with the final presentation. It is worth 40 points.

Worksheets: Worksheets will be individually assigned and are worth 2-6 points each. Some will involve collaborative learning projects, worth 4-10 points, and will be graded on the group’s willingness/effectiveness in helping each other.

Group Presentation: This will be worth 70 points and details will be handed out separately. Groups will be 3-5 students and will encompass a short lesson on elementary math presented to the class. If there are any group issues, I would expect you to discuss them with me before they affect your presentation grade.

Student Conduct: Appropriate conduct is expected in the classroom. Based upon the RSCCD Standards of Student Conduct (also known as the Code of Conduct) you, the student, will be in violation of the code should you become disruptive in any way, such that you disrupt the teaching of this class. This includes (but is not limited to) excessive talking with your peers and cell phone usage, which is inclusive of text messaging. Students who violate the Standards of Conduct are subject to disciplinary action which includes, but is not limited to, removal from class, suspension and expulsion. Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct in the college catalogue for details. Title IX information can be found at www.rsccd.edu/departments/risk-management/TitleIX/Pages/default.aspx or call the college psychologist at (714) 628-4773.

Accommodations for Disabilities: Students with verifiable disabilities who want to request academic accommodations are responsible for notifying me and Disabled Students Programs and Service (DSPS) as early as possible in the semester. To arrange for accommodations, contact DSPS at (714) 628-4860, stop by the DSPS Center in E-105, or email at [email protected].

Basic Needs Statement: Any student who faces challenges securing their food or housing and believes this may affect their performance in this course is urged to contact the Hawk’s Nest Food Pantry Coordinator for support. Please visit the website: https://www.sccollege.edu/StudentServices/FoodPantry Furthermore, please notify the professor, if you are comfortable doing so, to discover other resources available for students.

Important Dates: The last day to drop with a fee refund, the last day to drop without receiving a W grade, the last day to submit a Pass/No Pass application, and the last day to drop and receive an EW or W instead of a letter grade are listed on WebAdviso r. These dates are strictly adhered to, so check WebAdvisor periodically to make sure you do not miss any of these important deadlines.

Tests and Quizzes:

A) There will be weekly mini quizzes. They are only given to students present in class. There are no make-up quizzes for absent or late students, but the lowest quiz score will be dropped. Quizzes will reflect book material and focus on vocabulary.

B) There will be three 100-point tests. Dates are on the attached schedule; however, the dates may change if the instructor finds it necessary and such changes will be announced in advance in class. Tests are comprehensive. You must pass more tests than you fail. Tests must be taken on designated days; no make-ups will be given! If there are extenuating circumstances, please make an appointment with me to discuss. Tests can be downloaded or printed, completed, and then will be uploaded into Canvas as a PDF file like homework assignments.

C) Dates for the timed arithmetic competency test are on the attached schedule. Mastery of basic skills is an absolute necessity for teaching mathematics well. Calculators are not allowed on this exam. You must get a minimum of 90% in order to pass this course. Other than satisfying the competency requirement, this test has no impact on your grade. You will have two opportunities to retake the competency test, if necessary.

D) A comprehensive final exam will be given on the last day of class. It is worth approximately 200 points. A scientific or graphing calculator may be used. The final is worth 20-30% of your grade so take the time to prepare!

Grades: The course grade will be based on: The grading scale will be: Homework/Handouts 10-15% 90-100% A Problem sets/journals/labs 10-15% 80-89% B Participation/presentations 10-15% 70-79% C Tests/Quizzes 40-50% 60-69% D Final exam 20-30% 0-59% F

Student Honesty: There will be several opportunities for collaborative activities in this class; however, collaborating on class tests or quizzes will not be tolerated. Anyone seeking help from or providing assistance to another student, or using a cell phone on a test or quiz will receive a zero. Homework is also expected to be individual work.

Test Rules: No looking at another student’s desk or paper. No sharing of supplies including calculators. No talking or using cell phones!

By remaining enrolled, students hereby agree that they will be held responsible for items described in this overview and in the schedule.

How to survive this course:

A) Keep this overview and notify me of any trouble you are having in this course.

B) You are required to read all sections of the text to supplement the lecture because it is often difficult to cover all the material in class. Class lectures make more sense if you have read the material before the date on the schedule. Plan also to re-read each section after it is discussed in class.

C) Give yourself plenty of time outside of class to review your notes, read the text, work homework problems and study. If possible, set up a study group of 1-5 other students. Studying with others can help you with questions you may find difficult and force you to communicate solutions to other students. The best way to learn a subject is to teach it.

D) Focus on vocabulary!! Be able to explain what you did and WHY! Don’t get behind. Keep a positive attitude. Get help when you need it.

Students who successfully complete any mathematics course at SCC should be able to perform the following: (1) Create mathematical models of real world phenomena, apply those models to make predictions about the behavior of the phenomena, apply appropriate problem solving techniques, and critically evaluate the veracity of the obtained results. (2) Clearly communicate mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills using a variety of formats, diverse technologies, and appropriate mathematical vocabulary and notation. (3) Integrate into educational and professional conduct a calm, confident, and ethical approach to mathematical reasoning and problem solving while taking personal responsibility for mathematical successes.
