Concepts of geometry, probability, and statistics, as well as applications of the algebraic properties of real number to concepts of measurement with an emphasis on problem solving and critical thinking. Prerequisites: MATH 1350. Students in Math 1350/51 must have completed College Algebra or its equivalent AND have completed any remediation requirements.Required Text: Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers 3rd edition; Tom Bassarear; Houghton Mifflin Co.; ISBN 0-618-34886-7Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers 3rd edition: Explorations; Tom Bassarear; Houghton Mifflin Co.; ISBN 0-618-34887-5Package of both texts, ISBN 0-618-505393 Required Materials:INSTRUCTIONAL METHODOLOGYThis course is taught through investigations of mathematical ideas through explorations in a supportive, cooperative learning environment.COURSE RATIONALE MATH 1351 is the second semester of a two-semester sequence (1350/1351) designed for prospective elementary and middle school teachers. This course extends the foundational ideas of mathematics so that the prospective teachers (E.C.-8) have an explicit understanding of these concepts. This sequence of courses transfers to UT-Austin as M316K and M316L and transfers to other four-year institutions. COMMON COURSE OBJECTIVESCommon course objectives are attached.

COURSE EVALUATION/GRADING SCHEME: Grading criteria must be clearly explained in the syllabus. The criteria should specify the numberof exams and other graded material (homework, assignments, projects, etc.), with percentage allocations. Instructors should discuss the format and administration of exams Guidelines for other graded materials, such as homework or projects, should also be included in the syllabus.Include your policy on Missed Exams, late work, class participation expectations. Attendance Policy (if no attendance policy, students must be told that). Math Dept's attendance policy follows. Instructors who have a different policy are required to state it. "Attendance is required in this course. Students who miss more than 4 classes may be withdrawn." Withdrawal Policy (including the withdrawal deadline for the semester) It is the student's responsibility to initiate all withdrawals in this course. The instructor may withdraw students for excessive absences (4) but makes no commitment to do this for the student.After the withdrawal date, neither the student nor the instructor may initiate a withdrawal. Incomplete Grade PolicyIncomplete grades (I) will be given only in very rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a gradeof "I", a student must have taken all examinations, be passing, and after the last date to withdraw, have a personal tragedy occur which prevents course completion.Course-Specific Support ServicesACC main campuses have Learning Labs which offer free first-come first-serve tutoring in mathematics courses. The locations, contact information and hours of availability of the Learning Labs are posted at: http://www.austincc.edu/tutor The following policies are listed in First Day Handout section in front part of the Math Manual.
