  1. Statway The Journey Continues

  2. The Need for Statway For every FOUR students who make 39+ on the Compass after MATD 0370 and continue to MATH 1342 (Elementary Statistics), ONE passes • This means for many students, Elementary Algebra is not good enough preparation for Elementary Statistics. • Intermediate Algebra does not provide any additional benefit in preparing these students for statistics.

  3. The Need for Statway • We support having 0385, but Statway is set up differently with a two-semester learning community and activities more focused on preparing the students for 1342. • Statway teaches math in a Statistics context right from the beginning. Students practice analyzing data and writing complete analytical solutions instead of simply practicing more quantitative calculations. • We will be getting materials that are developed to meet Math Outcomes developed / approved by AMATYC for such a course and Stat outcomes approved by the Education committee of the American Stat Assn as being appropriate for an Elem Stat course.

  4. Options for offering Statway • MATH 1342 Option Semester 1: 4 hours MATD “Math for Stats I” Semester 2: MATH 1342 (Elementary Statistics) +1 hour MATD “Math for Stats II” • Unique Needs Option Semester 1: 1 hour MATH “Descriptive Statistics” + 3 hours MATD “Math for Stats I” Semester 2: 2 hours MATH “Inferential Statistics” + 2 hours MATD “Math for Stats II”

  5. 1. MATH 1342 Option • MATH 1342 and a 1 hour MATD (“Math for Stat II”) for any additional developmental topics to support learning statistics, whose prerequisite is… • New 4 hour developmental course, “Math for Stat I”, to cover the developmental math topics from Statway (with assumption that students from Math for Stat I will all continue to a Statway 1342 section) First: 4hours MATD Second:3hours MATH 1342 + 1hour MATD Advantage: Transferability is guaranteed

  6. 2. Unique Needs Option • Creation of two new College Level courses that split the content of MATH 1342 • to be paired with MATD each semester (Math for Stat I & II): First: 3 hours MATD + 1 hour MATHSecond: 2 hours MATD + 2 hours MATH Advantage: Statway materials can be used as provided

  7. MATD “Math for Stats I” Course Description (tentative; to be split for the Unique Needs Option): The first in a two-semester course, to be paired with a designated MATH 1342 section in the second semester. This course surveys a variety of mathematical topics needed to prepare students for the statistical reasoning and data analysis needed in MATH 1342. It also covers most THEA mathematics topics. Topics include: arithmetic with rational numbers; linear models; evaluating expressions and formulas; rates, ratios, and proportions; percentages; solving equations and inequalities; data interpretations including graphs and tables; verbal, algebraic and graphical representations of functions; exponential models; and an introduction to other models, including quadratic, logarithmic, and/or rational.

  15. Questions • Do we want to move forward and commit to pilot the course? • This would be a two-year commitment, with the option to pull out after one year if deemed necessary • Do we want to go the MATH 1342 or the Unique Needs Route? • Do we want the prerequisite to include High School Algebra II?
