Students
will initially review and understand arithmetic operations, sequencing
, terminology, and problem solving techniques. Building upon that
foundation, students will demonstrate proficiency in new concepts as
listed in the courses content. Students will be able to increase math
skills and communicate these learned skills through class room feed back, testing and homework.
