Lesson Plan for Intermediate Algebra

Objectives:

The most important objectives are:
0. To motivate students about College and Math
1. Prepare students for MAC 1105.
2. Challenge students to think analytically.
3. To show how Mathematics can be integrated into the scientific and business related fields.
4. To help students overcome Math anxiety.
5. To challenge students to explain to their peers what they have learned in the course.

Final Notes:
The Teacher will verbally announce dates of all Tests at least two weeks in advance. All changes to this Syllabus will be made by the Teacher and announced in advance, in class.
