MAT 306 - Techniques of Problem Solving
This course is intended for the 1-6 Childhood Education Mathematics Concentrate. It extends the topics introduced in MAT 106 and utilizes analytical thinking techniques in problem solving situations. Topics include study of integers, rational and real numbers; elementary number theory; and solutions of equations and systems of equations. The emphasis on problem solving reflects current statements in both the “NCTM Standards”and the New York State Education Department “Framework for Mathematics, Science and Technology.”
Prerequisite: MAT 106 and 210, or instructor permission.
Offered: Spring Odd years
