# 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?
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?
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?
CMC3 Fall Conference, December 2012, Monterey – Ian Walton, Mission College, Past President, ASCCC 17
# 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
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
