L e t t e r F r o m h e C h an c el l o r ugust 3, 2012 Dear Colleague: I am very pleased to present the third edition of the CCNH: Mathematics equirements dvisor s Handbook. his guide is a resource to assist students, teachers, advisors, parents and policy-makers as we seek to improve math education in New Hampshire and eliminate barriers to postsecondary and professional achievement. he partnerships that have been building to improve math education in New Hampshire hold great promise for our high school population and the state s workforce. Collaborations among educational sectors have brought together high school and college-level educators in efforts to measure and improve student outcomes in math education. New Hampshire s Community College and University ystems have pledged efforts to double the number of graduates from M programs cience, echnology, ngineering and Math by 2025. In accepting that challenge, both ystems recognized the importance of a strong high school-to-college continuum in math education. Links between the postsecondary education sector and the business community are helping to inform and guide these efforts. ince the first publication of the CCNH: Mathematics equirements dvisor s Handbook, our focus on the transition from high school to college in mathematics has evolved into the Mathematics Learning Communities Project (MLC), a statewide high school-community college partnership that employs a two-tiered approach to improve mathematics preparedness. ier one is a mathematics course for high school seniors, built upon an established set of prerequisite competencies. ier two is a threshold college-level mathematics course that is also offered in high schools for concurrent credit through the unning tart partnership. his Handbook has three purposes: o inform students, parents, teachers, and guidance counselors of mathematics requirements for all associate degree programs at each of the seven community colleges; o underscore the importance, and the benefits, of staying engaged in mathematics education throughout all four years of high school; and o promote the adoption by high schools of the Mathematics Learning Communities Project two-tiered approach to improving mathematics preparedness I am extremely grateful to the high school and college mathematics faculty whose dedication to student success led to the creation of this reference guide and undergirds the ongoing work of the Mathematics Learning Communities Project. he CCNH: Mathematics equirements - dvisor s Handbook is a resource to inform academic planning. I encourage you to use it to improve the odds for college and professional success for New Hampshire s students. incerely, Dr. oss Gittell Chancellor I

M H Q U I M e n t C C N H Math equirements tatement pproved by the Presidents of the Community College ystem of New Hampshire very degree student must demonstrate basic arithmetic and algebra skills before enrolling in college-level math and other courses (e.g., science). o earn an associate degree, students will be required to complete successfully one or more college-level math classes specified by the particular program and curriculum to which the student has been accepted. tudents lacking basic arithmetic and algebra skills may achieve those competencies through developmental math courses offered at the college. 1
M H P Q U I I C C N H Prerequisite CCNH Math Competencies If an entering student demonstrates mastery of the fourteen algebraic skills described below, they will be prepared to both pass the math placement exams administered at time of entrance, and to successfully enroll in a college-level math course for degree credit. Please consider the need to master these competencies in your academic planning/ advising for students intending to enter one of New Hampshire s Community Colleges. Perform operations with signed numbers implify algebraic expressions olve and graph linear equations and linear inequalities olve formulas for specific variables pply the rules of exponents valuate numerical square roots ranslate and solve word problems Graph linear equalities in two variables Find the slope of a line implify polynomials Factor polynomials olve systems of linear equations in two variables implify rational expressions olve quadratic equations by factoring 2
M H Q U I M e n t C C N H Mathematics equirements by cademic Program he following matrices identify the mathematics requirements, by major and campus, for all ssociate Degree programs at the seven Colleges of the New Hampshire Community College ystem. For advising purposes, these matrices provide a valuable tool for informing high school students of the importance of staying engaged with math instruction through the junior and senior year. While the matrices supply a general guide for identifying math requirements by major, students should plan to utilize the advising services at the individual colleges for making their final course selections. nrolling in one of the courses shown in the following matrices, normally requires achieving an established cut-score on a placement exam administered prior to matriculation. Please emphasize with your advisees that all degree programs at the Community Colleges require at least one college-level math course for completion. 3

C C N H M H U V Y What High chool tudents Need to Know: Develop a global understanding of the value of math. Basic math, logic, reasoning, and problem solving are skills used throughout school and life. (hese critical thinking skills are incorporated in the Habits of Mind. For reference, please see www.ccsnh.edu/specproj.html) he calculator is a great tool, but should not be a crutch. You need to understand math, not just do math. ttendance alone is insufficient to pass a college course in math. uccess is based on active participation and assessment. Do not allow too much time to go by without taking a math course or using your math skills. Know your learning style and how that impacts your approach to learning math. Use appropriate strategies for taking notes and studying for tests. ake ownership of your learning. sk for help when needed; moving onto the next lesson, unit, or course without mastering the content leads to disaster. 12

W O I G Y C C N H he wo-ier Practical pproach to trengthening Math Preparedness for Middle-chieving High chool eniors he Problem: 65 percent of students planning to attend New Hampshire s Community Colleges are unprepared to enroll in college-level mathematics. ecent data suggest that as many as 40 percent of all students entering postsecondary education will require at lease one remedial course among all community college students only 25 percent who enroll in remedial education complete an associate degree in eight years (NG, 2011). he cost of remedial education in college is estimated to be in excess of $2 billion per year, (C, 2010). he Consequences: Beyond the cost in time, tuition and discouragement, according to a recent study by the National Center for ducational tatistics: Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of those who require one or two remedial math courses fail to earn degrees. In contrast, nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of students who do not require remediation complete associates degrees or bachelor s degrees, (NC, Condition of ducation 2004, Indicator 18). he olution trategy: elying heavily on the critical thinking skills advanced by the Habits of Mind* and the engagement of students made possible through the use of applied problem solving, a wo-iered trategy for trengthening Math Preparedness has been developed: *For reference, go to: www.ccsnh.edu/specproj.html 14
W O I G Y ier One - enior Math Peter Bixby, ConVal H - Math Faculty, etired, developed a math course premised on the 14 Prerequisite Math Competencies detailed on page 2 of this Handbook. hese are the fundamental skills identified as being necessary to successfully engage in threshold-level (first for degree-credit) college mathematics. he course is focused on the learning skills and inclinations of middle-achieving high school seniors. Multiple teaching strategies are employed to best assure both the engagement of these, sometimes, reluctant learners and their ultimate success in mastering the targeted competencies. Preliminary pre- and post-test results have shown more than a 200% improvement in the number of students achieving the ccuplacer score established for waiver/advising entrance into the first college-level math course at the Community College ystem of New Hampshire (CCNH). hese students have now earned the opportunity to either enter one of the Community Colleges without the need for remediation (and all its incumbent costs), or enroll in the second stage of the wo-ier trategy. ier wo - opics in pplied College Mathematics (C.Math) C.Math has been developed as the common threshold math course within the CCNH. C.Math focuses on the computational skills and mathematical topics that a college-educated citizen should possess. he topic areas include: Number heory & ystems, lgebra, Finance, Geometry, and Probability & tatistics. gain, there is a strong emphasis on the Habits of Mind critical thinking skills and the use of applied problem solving; the goal is to teach both a discipline that provides an approach to problem solving, and to relate the use of that discipline to solve real life mathematical problems. he reviews have been very positive in confirming the capacity of C.Math to engage students in the mastery of computational skills they can then employ as tools to solve problems they see as relevant to their lives beyond the classroom. C.Math and the unning tart Program: C.Math is offered through the unning tart Program. uccessful completion of C.Math will result in the earning of either three or four credits in collegelevel mathematics. hese credits are accepted at all of the CCNH Colleges and transferable to a growing number of both two and four-year colleges and universities as described on page 17 (please check with the egistrar at the college of your choice). 15
W O I G Y Mathematics Learning Communities Project Notes Consequential dditional Benefit: tudents engaging in one or both stages of the wo-ier trategy will achieve a significant advantage in their quest for success in career or college. he simple fact that they are taking a math course in their senior year of high school will mean when they progress to either employment or college entrance, they will be doing so with both stronger and fresher math skills. here is a quantifiable diminution of computational skills that occurs over the course of time if those skills are not regularly exercised. llowing one or more years to lapse between one s last math course and engagement in postsecondary education or career training, presents an obstacle to success that few overcome without the cost and discouragement of remediation. Joining the Mathematics Learning Communities Project: econdary chools interested in learning more about participation in the MLC Project, and receiving the attendant curricula and professional development benefits of membership, should contact: Bob Condon, CCNH - ystem Fellow, rcondon@ccsnh.edu or 603-913-3400. Complimentary ccuplacer placement testing is currently being offered to Partner High chools. he testing is normally administered in the spring of the junior year for the cohort of students that each school identifies as candidates for enrollment in one of the courses making up the wo-ier trategy. Post testing of students completing enior Math has also been made available to determine both the students skill growth and eligibility to enroll in C.Math.
