Course Description

MGF1130: Mathematical Thinking

In this course, students will utilize multiple means of problem solving through student-centered mathematical exploration. The course is designed to teach students to think more effectively and increase their problem-solving ability through practical application and divergent thinking. This course is appropriate for students in a wide range of disciplines/programs. Student learning outcomes: students will determine efficient means of solving a problem through investigation of multiple mathematical models; students will apply logic in contextual situations to formulate and determine the validity of logical statements using a variety of methods; students will apply mathematical concepts visually and contextually to represent, interpret and reason about geometric figures; students will recognize the characteristics of numbers and utilize numbers along with their operations appropriately in context; and students will analyze and interpret representations of data to draw reasonable conclusions. Prerequisite: Student must meet the Developmental Education mathematics requirements in State Rule 6A-10.0315 (by course, placement score, or eligible exemption).
