EML 482 Algebra and Functions
Math endorsement students develop conceptual understanding of and procedural facility with algebra concepts emphasizing functions. Topics include operations, solution, and graphical representation of real life and mathematical problems using numerical and algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities; proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations; functional notation and their models (linear, quadratic, simple rational, and exponential); algebraic expressions and functions (polynomials, rationals, roots); arithmetic properties and their proofs, equivalent forms; analysis and modeling of functions (linear, quadratic, exponential); and relationships between various representations of a function (graphs, tables, algebraic expressions, concrete models, contexts). Upon successful completion of this course, students have content knowledge to help K-12 students become college and career ready in algebra and functions.
Outcomes
- This course will prepare students to:
- Develop conceptual understanding of and procedural facility with algebra and functions.
- Apply standards of mathematical practice in algebra and functions.
