# 5 Intermediate AlgebraEye of the Storm

This year’s hot political topic:

1) Graduation Competencies

2) CSU/UC Requirements

3) Common Core

4) Alternative Pathways

Senate vs CMC3 Conversations?

Page 12: Why Should I Care?

CMC3 Fall Conference, December 2012, Monterey – Ian Walton, Mission College, Past President, ASCCC 12

What We’ll Do Today

Look at each factor together

Alternative Pathways – Hal Huntsman

Senate Fall Session – Linda Retterath

Evaluate intermediate algebra topic list and alternatives together

CMC3 Fall Conference, December 2012, Monterey – Ian Walton, Mission College, Past President, ASCCC 13

# 1Common Core

Nationwide high school topic – at state levelAchieve / American Diploma Project / Common CoreVery high political profile Adopted by 45 states

www.corestandards.orgWhat is the math high school graduates need to succeed?Both Workplace and College

- Short answer is complete intermediate algebra- What question did they really ask?- Math Wars – Critical Thinking or Rote Learning?

Page 14: Why Should I Care?

CMC3 Fall Conference, December 2012, Monterey – Ian Walton, Mission College, Past President, ASCCC 14

What Answer ?What Question ?

Does it mean

- all the topics from traditional intermediate algebra?

- level and rigor and thinking of int alg?

“Ready or Not” (04) Achieve – Methodology

2 & 4 year faculty + “high skill” managers

84% of successful had taken Algebra II

# 2 Associate DegreeGraduation Competencies

What did we do in 2006-9 ?Math course level & rigor of Intermediate AlgebraPrerequisite of Elementary AlgebraMay be taught by other departments

Academic Senate “promised” more alternative options

What do we do if Common Core takes effect?

# 3 CSU/UCRequirements

CSU Transfer/GE Breadth

Executive Order 1033

Blocks upward pathway via alternative graduation courses

Using it to verify university entrance requirements

Couldn’t content validate prerequisite

Page 18: Why Should I Care?

CMC3 Fall Conference, December 2012, Monterey – Ian Walton, Mission College, Past President, ASCCC 18

# 4 Alternative PathwaysStatway/Statpath

Reach transfer level course with fewer stepsReduce basic skills attrition

Statistics (Liberal Arts)Content Validation

Statistics becomes non transfer/GEElementary algebra prerequisite
