Pre-Algebra
Pre-Algebra is an entry level course for students in preparation for the Introductory/Intermediate algebra sequence. Students will gain a background in arithmetic and algebraic topics by means of various presentation styles and group work. Topics to be covered include: fractions, solving linear equations, various applications in problem solving, the coordinate system, basic graphing and an introduction to polynomials. Placement in Pre-Algebra is determined by a student's score on the math placement test and/or his/her mathematical background. When successfully completed (grade C or better), the course satisfies the college's prerequisite for Introductory Algebra. DEV Prerequisite: None

MT 0203	3.0
Introductory Algebra
Introductory Algebra is the first course in a two-course algebra sequence designed to prepare students for coursework in college level mathematics. Students will be introduced to basic algebra topics and the application of technology to those topics. Topics covered include: solving equations and inequalities, exponents, linear relations, the coordinate plane, modeling data, polynomials, and domain. Many of these topics will be further developed in subsequent courses. When successfully completed (grade C or better), the course satisfies the college's prerequisite for Intermediate Algebra.

Extended Intro Algebra
Extended Introductory Algebra is the first course in a two course algebra sequence designed to prepare students for coursework in college level mathematics. Students will be introduced to basic algebra topics and the application of technology to those topics. The course will begin with a review of pertinent pre-algebra topics including fractions, decimals, and signed numbers. Other topics to be covered at the introductory algebra level include: arithmetic skills, solving equations and inequalities, exponents, linear relations, the coordinate plane, modeling data, polynomials, polynomial operations, and factoring. Many of these topics will be developed more in subsequent courses.
