This certificate will help the student be successful in college level math courses. It also meets the requirements for the General Education Development (GED) certificate as well as high school diploma.
Learning Outcomes
Upon satisfactory completion of this program students will be able to:
- Use and comprehend quantitative language in a variety of contexts including units of measurement (e.g. milliseconds, calories), visual representations (e.g. graphs and maps), and scales.
- Show quantitative intuition: a subjective "feel" for numbers including the ability to estimate, have a sense of scale, and appropriately use heuristics (rules-of-thumb).
- Practice quantitative reasoning: when is quantitative reasoning appropriate and how can it be applied to simple-life problems.
- Restate (formulate) a problem mathematically.
