  1. “The accident of where students live should not limit their access to an excellent education or their ability to pursue their dreams.”— Uri Treisman, Executive Director, Charles A. Dana Center, 2012

  2. Are you required to take Beginning Algebra or Intermediate Algebra? Are you interested in fields in the social sciences, liberal arts, or allied health? Would you like to complete your math requirements more quickly? Are the New Mathways Project courses right for you?

  3. The New Mathways Project offers three courses that allow students to complete developmental math and college-level math in two semestersinstead of the usual three semesters. The courses are designed to teach problem-solving and reasoning skills in situations that people face in their everyday lives. Are the New Mathways Project courses right for you?

  4. In your first semester, you will take: • Math 0435 Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning • EDUC 1300 Learning Frameworks • In the second semester, you will take: • Math 1442 ElementaryStatistical Methods OR • Math 1332 Contemporary Mathematics I • Contact your advising office for more information. • (254) 298-8331 Are the New Mathways Project courses right for you?

  5. Math 0330 Intro to Algebra Math 0350 Intermediate Algebra Compare the New Mathways Project courses to the algebra course sequence. Math 0435 Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning College-Level Math Math 1442 Elementary Stasticsor Math 1332 Contemporary Mathematics EDUC 1300 Learning Frameworks* Algebra sequence = 3 semesters New Mathways sequence = 2 semesters EDUC 1300 counts as college credit. Who should go this route? Nursing, Criminal Justice, Psychology, Art, Music, History, Government, English, Sociology, etc. (Check your degree plan and talk to an advisor).

  6. WHO ?Students ready to enroll in Math 0330 or Math 0350 who plan to seek a degree requiring statistics. 

  7. WHAT ? • The New Mathways Project (NMP) allows students to complete their developmental math courses in fewer semesters than the traditional program. Students can save time and money through the NMP program. • There will be 3 different pathways developed for students over the next 3 years. The first pathway, called the Statistics Pathway, is for those students seeking degrees requiring an Elementary Statistics course. The second pathway, called the Quantitative Reasoning Pathway, is for those students seeking degrees requiring aContemporary Mathematics course.

  8. impact on students Current statistics pathway Nmpstatistics or Quantitative REasoningpathway COST: up to 14 SCHs TIME: 3 semesters • COST: up to 16 SCHs • TIME: 4 semesters

  9. WHEN ? • Students interested in the Statistics Pathway can register this summer and begin their NMP program in the Fall semester. SPACE IS LIMITED! • See a Temple College advisor to get started. OCC – 2nd Floor

  10. WHERE ? • The NMP Statistics Pathway will only be held only at the Temple College Main Campus in Temple this year. • Classes will be held on Monday/Wednesday mornings or Tuesday/Thursday mornings. An evening class on Tuesdays and Thursdays also will be offered.

  11. WHY ? • Students will benefit from the NMP program in the following ways: Students will spend LESS TIME completing their math sequence. • Students will spend LESS MONEY on semester hours and books. • Students will LEARN MORE relevant mathematical material directly related to their specific career goals.

  12. HOW ? • To learn more or get involved with NMP, contact the Temple College Advising Office at (254) 298-8331 or visit the Advising Center (located on the second floor of One College Centre). • Space is limited!

  13. Collaborative Learning • New Mathways Project courses emphasize group learning and cooperation. • Student Comments: “I love NMP! It really allows us to interact with each other, form friendships and a support system. “ • “NMP has definitely given me back my self-esteem when it comes to math. I used to be so scared I couldn't get my degree because I couldn't get past the math classes. Now, I have a renewed spirit. “

  15. Math 0435 Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning:  This course may be different from any math class you’ve ever had!  It is designed to help you refresh and improve your mathematical knowledge and skills while studying questions that people face in their everyday lives.  Example topics include understanding credit card debt and the impact of a credit score, using medical statistics to make good health decisions and understanding the impact of how the world uses resources.  You will work with real data to build skills in estimation and calculation, percentages, proportional reasoning, algebra, geometry and basic statistics.  The course emphasizes problem-solving, reasoning and communication skills.  This course is taken in the same semester with EDUC 1300 Frameworks for Collegiate Learning.

  16. EDUC 1300 Frameworks of Collegiate Learning:  This course is based on the best knowledge available about the beliefs and skills that can help you experience success in college.  You will learn how to work more effectively to get the most out of your time and your college experience. You will also plan for your future – both in college and in your future career. The strategies you learn in this program are reinforced in the Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning course, giving you the opportunity to immediately apply the skills you are learning. 

  17. Math 1442 Elementary Statistical Methods This college-level statistics course will give you experience with research that supports your future career.  You will analyze the design of authentic research reports and learn how to interpret the results. You will also learn appropriate ways to collect data, build your own research studies, and report your conclusions.  This course is designed to build on the skills and strategies developed in the Foundations of Mathematical Reasoning course, to smooth your transition to college level work.

  18. Math 1332 Contemporary MathematicsI This course consists of a study of linear and exponential growth, descriptive statistics, personal finance, relations, functions, and other applications of simple modeling. This course may include topics in intro treatments of sets, logic, number systems, number theory, relations, functions, probability and statistics. Appropriate applications are included. It emphasizes using critical thinking to make decisions based on information.
