Grading Basis

BEdA

Prerequisites

Appropriate placement scores in Math, or a grade of “B-” (2.7) or better in ABE 41 or HSC 41.

Course Learning Outcomes

Select and employ elementary math skills (read, understand, apply use the skills to solve problems & communicate verbally, written, or digital technology) at college and career ready levels of competency

Operate within culturally diverse groups as a college and career ready student and professional

Select strategies appropriate to their own strengths to demonstrate competency across a wide variety of academic tasks through portfolio construction

Core Topics

Topics for this course are based on the College & Career Readiness Standards for Mathematical Reasoning (see course outcomes rubric, attached). Students who have achieved 80% competency in 50% of the outcomes within each topic will be awarded one HS21+ credit in Math. Assignments completed as part of this course may also be used to meet outcomes in HS21+ subject area courses building towards award of credit for those subjects, upon determination of the faculty.
