This is a three-credit course which covers topics that enhance the students’ problem solving abilities, knowledge of the basic principles of probability/statistics, and guides students to master critical thinking/logic skills, geometric principles, personal finance skills. This course requires that students apply their knowledge to real-world problems. A TI-84 or comparable calculator is required. The course has four main units: Thinking Algebraically, Thinking Logically and Geometrically, Thinking Statistically, and Making Connections. This course is paired with a course in MyOpenMath which contains the instructor materials (including answer keys) and online homework system with immediate feedback. All course materials are licensed by CC-BY-SA unless otherwise noted.

In this project, students will have the opportunity to explore how math is used to solve real-world problems. In this case, students will examine how linear equations may be used to predict the size of megalodon based on the size and position of a fossilized tooth. You may have students work individually or as part of a team (3-4 would be ideal).

In this project, students will have the opportunity to explore regression in more detail. Specifically, they will be looking at how Covid-19 Stimulus money was distributed to each state in the country.

This is an assignment given during Spring 2022 in a community college elementary statistics course. Students were asked to find their own data set (or given the option of selecting from several sets that were provided) and compute a correlation, construct a least squares regression line, and make a prediction using the data. Students are given the option of turning in the assignment as a short paper, slides presentation, or video. Students are also asked if they would be willing to share their assignment with the class and future classes to be used as examples. 

This is an assignment given during Spring 2022 in a community college elementary statistics course. Students were asked to find something within their own daily lives, relevant to them, and use counting techniques to enumerate that process. This includes things like washing dishes, selecting outfits, compute the number of meal combinations available at restaurants, and other actions. Students are given the option of turning in the assignment as a short paper, slides presentation, or video. Students are also asked if they would be willing to share their assignment with the class and future classes to be used as examples. 

This is a liquid syllabus template used during the Spring 2022 Academic Term. Specific school and professor information has been left out and the template can be customized as needed for each course. The course in question is a one semester introductory statistics course offered at the community college level. 

This is an assignment given during Spring 2022 in a community college elementary statistics course. Students conduct a search for a mathematician of interest to them according to guidelines set in the assignment. Students are given the option of uploading a paper, presentation, or video. Rubric included. Students are also asked if they would be willing to share their assignment with the class and future classes to be used as examples.

These activities were designed to introduce or reinforce important math concepts and skills using seasonal themes. The games capitalize on students' fascination with spiders at Halloween time.

Bats are a common theme at Halloween. Use these resources to capitalize on student interest in bats and develop student understanding of common mathematical patterns.

  Introductory Statistics is a non-calculus based, descriptive statistics course with applications. Topics include methods of collecting, organizing, and interpreting data; measures of central tendency, position, and variability for grouped and ungrouped data; frequency distributions and their graphical representations; introduction to probability theory, standard normal distribution, and areas under the curve.

Getting Started

Type of Unit: Introduction

Prior Knowledge

Students should be able to:

Solve and write numerical equations for whole number addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.
Use parentheses to evaluate numerical expressions.
Identify and use the properties of operations.

Lesson Flow

In this unit, students are introduced to the rituals and routines that build a successful classroom math community and they are introduced to the basic features of the digital course that they will use throughout the year.

An introductory card sort activity matches students with their partner for the week. Then over the course of the week, students learn about the lesson routines: Opening, Work Time, Ways of Thinking, Apply the Learning, Summary of the Math, and Reflection. Students learn how to present their work to the class, the importance of taking responsibility for their own learning, and how to effectively participate in the classroom math community.

Students then work on Gallery problems to further explore the program’s technology resources and tools and learn how to organize their work.

The mathematical work of the unit focuses on numerical expressions, including card sort activities in which students identify equivalent expressions and match an expression card to a word card that describes its meaning. Students use the properties of operations to identify equivalent expressions and to find unknown values in equations.

This is designed as an introductory lab for hydrogeology or other upper-level courses that are quantitative in nature in order to review key mathematical concepts that will be used throughout the semester.
