This course (approximately 10 classes) is designed to prepare students for an introductory statistics course. College statistics is often difficult for students because the subject matter is unlike mathematics encountered in high school.  The goal of this class is to provide the necessary foundational concepts for success at the college level. We begin by reviewing basic decimal and percents skills. Subsequent topics include data collecting considerations, organizing data and representing it visually, comparing data in terms of range, mean, variance, and standard deviation, and basic probability topics. Instruction can be provided in-person or on Zoom.

Take the steps you need to prepare for college with the help of an advisor! Learn more about college, goal setting, skill development, financial aid applications, exploring career options & more. MCCA classes are offered to prepare adult learners for college level coursework, all free of charge!

This class is for students who took their last math class years ago and will soon register for a college math course.  There are two parts to this class, and the instructor and student make the decision together on where to begin instruction. Classes are held weekly either in-person or on Zoom and students use Schoology to access homework and quizzes.

PART 1 - Mostly Arithmetic

Topics include operations with whole numbers, decimals, fractions and percents. This course is recommended for beginning math students who need to rebuild the foundational math skills and concepts needed for more advanced math studies. Accuplacer Arithmetic testing is provided for students (at no cost) if needed.

PART 2 - Mostly Algebra
