MATH 098 Algebraic Literacy I (Section 003) Spring 2016 Class Location: EMS E140 Class Time: 3:30 4:45 p.m. Monday and Wednesday – Instructor: Ian Paszkiewicz Email: Office Phone: (414) 229-2669 Office Location: Physics 123 Office Hours: 12:30 2:00 p.m. Tuesday – 4:30 6:00 p.m. Thursday – (and by appointment) Prerequisite: Placement level D Course Description: Algebraic Literacy I is a the first course in a two course sequence for math, science, business, nursing and engineering students integrating algebraic reasoning, modeling, and functions. This sequence satisfies the Quantitative Literacy-A Requirement, giving a student the ability to evaluate, construct and communicate arguments using quantitative methods and formal reasoning. This ability is consistent with the following Mathematical Practice (MP) standards from the Common Core: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Specifically, the course Algebraic Literary I covers arithmetic number systems; linear equations, inequalities; exponent notation and radicals; polynomials, operations, and factoring; modeling; coordinate geometry; linear systems; and quadratic equations. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts. Textbook: You need to go to to sign up for your online homework system ALEKS. The ALEKS course code for this course is Once you sign up on ALEKS, you will have access to your online XXXXX-XXXXX. homework. In addition, you will have access to the following e-book: ALEKS 360 and Hyde Beginning/Intermediate (4th edition). Authors: Miller, O’Neill,
