UPDATED CURRICULUM

Making Math Real: Pre-Algebra

X326.1 (4 semester units in Education)

The cognitive demands of algebra require a strong and comprehensive developmental foundation including recognizing and extending patterns, generalizing, sequential processing, and especially detail analysis. The specific outcome of a successful pre-algebra experience is the establishment and full integration of algebraic law that defines and supports all algebraic processes of simplifying and solving. The most critical component of successful instruction and learning is to include all of the incremental steps in every algebraic development. Therefore, course emphasis is on the systematic incrementation and methods of instruction that address the development, refinement, and integration of students’ sensory-cognitive abilities with the application and retention of algebraic problem solving and skills. Topics include units on the four operations with integers and rational numbers, probability, number theory, ratio, proportion and percent, solving equations, and linear graphing and systems. Tuition fee paid directly to Making Math Real Institute: $894. Fee for academic credit option paid to UC Berkeley Extension: $360.

Prerequisites: All course participants must have successfully completed the Overview and at least one of the following Making Math Real courses: Fractions, Decimals, and Advanced Place Value, Making Pre-Algebra and Algebra Real, Making Math Real Part II, or Making Math Real Part III. Please do not contact the school. If you have questions regarding this course, contact the Making Math Real Institute.
