MAT 128 with minimum grade of C.

Course continues contemporary and heuristic approach of MAT 128. Content includes recognizing and analyzing two- and threedimensional geometrical shapes measurement, triangle congruence and similarity Euclidean constructions coordinate and transformational geometry elementary logic, dynamic geometry or computer algebra software equivalence relations, and clock arithmetic as an example of a finite mathematical system. Technology incorporated when appropriate.

1.    To obtain an accurate view of the mathematical concepts demanded by the elementary mathematics curriculum and how students can learn them.
2.    To appreciate and understand both the historical developments and the current applications of mathematics.
3.    To gain an understanding and appreciation of the National Council of Teachers of     Mathematics (NCTM) curriculum standards:

•    learn to value mathematics
•    become confident in one’s ability to do mathematics
•    become a mathematical problem solver
•    learn to communicate mathematically
•    learn to reason mathematically
   
4.    To be prepared to teach mathematics in accordance with the NCTM standards.   

Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton's Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:

• cheating,
• plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
• falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
• helping others to cheat,
• unauthorized changes on official documents,
• pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you,
• making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and
• any other behavior that violates academic integrity.

There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton's policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.
Details of the Code of Academic Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook.

    1.    Measurement: 
        Units of length, areas, volumes, masses, temperatures and conversions.

    2.    Geometry: 
        Recognition, analysis, and properties of two and three dimensional    
        geometric shapes.
        Triangle congruence and similarity.
        Euclidean constructions.
        Coordinate and transformational geometry.

    3.    Logic: 
        Introduction to conditionals, biconditionals, and arguments.

    4.    Computer Technology: 
        Elements of programming in BASIC and LOGO, computer software for
        geometrical explorations and an introduction to graphics calculators.

    5.    Equivalence Relations

    6.    Clock Arithmetic

The classroom component of this course will feature lectures on the primary topics high-lighted in the outline of topics.  The course will emphasize student participation through     individual and group activities, cooperative learning techniques, and problem solving activities.  Use of calculators, computers, and videos will be an integral part of the course.

Course may be taught as face-to-face, media-based, hybrid or online course.

Complete assigned readings and homework and attend and participate in all scheduled class lectures and class discussions.

Textbook information for each course and section is available on Oakton's Schedule of Classes. Within the Schedule of Classes, textbooks can be found by clicking on an individual course section and looking for the words "View Book Information".

Textbooks can also be found at our Mathematics Textbooks page.

A scientific calculator, notebook, and earphones are required.

Evaluation will include class projects, homework, quizzes, tests and a final examination.

Individual instructors will establish and announce specific policies regarding attendance, due dates and make-up work, incomplete grades, etc.

If you have a documented learning, psychological, or physical disability you may be entitled to reasonable academic accommodations or services. To request accommodations or services, contact the ASSIST office in the Learning Center. All students are expected to fulfill essential course requirements. The College will not waive any essential skill or requirement of a course or degree program.
