No. of Units : 3 Units

VI. COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course deals with nature of Mathematics, appreciation of its practical, imtellectual and aesthetic, dimensions and application of mathematical tools in
daily life.

This course begins with an introduction to the nature of mathematics as an exploration of patterns (In nature and the environment ) and as an application of
inductive and deductive reasoning. By exploring these topics, students are encouraged to go beyond the typical understanding of mathematics as merely as a
set of formulas but as a source of aesthetics in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language in itself (and of science) governed by Data Management.

The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provides a tool for understanding and dealingg with various aspects of present – day living,
such as managing personal finances, making social choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding, and dividing limited resources fairly. These
aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad range of excercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematis as a
way of knowing, and test the students’ understanding and capacity. (CMO NO. 20, series of 2013).

VII. LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of the course, the students should be able to:

A. KNOWLEDGE
1. Discuss and argue about the nature of mathematics, what is it, how it is expressed, represented and used;
2. Use different types of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concepts
3. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics
 B. SKILLS
1. Use a variety of statistical tools to process and manage numerical data;
2. Analyze Problems using Polya’s Method or strategy;
3. Use mathematics in other areas such as finance, arts and designs, and recreation.

C. VALUES
1. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life
2. Affirm honesty and integrity in the application of mathematics to various human endeavors

XIV. COURSE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES:

Please refer to the Student Handbook.

1. Attendance
Because this is a classroom, mandatory attendance will be reduced to project presentation days. As per college policy, students are expected to
complete assignments on-time. While some projects span the entire semester, others are due on specific dates throughout the semester. Ten percent
(10%) of the total points available (or a minimum of 1 point) are deducted from a student's grade on a project when it is received after the stated due
time (usually 11:00 a.m.) on the due date unless otherwise stated on the rubric for the individual project/assignment. An additional 5% (or a
minimum of 1 point) is deducted for each day the project/assignment is late. Work that is more than one week late will not be accepted without a
doctor's note submitted to the instructor or proof of other emergency beyond the student's control. Be sure to consult the rubric for the individual
project for more complete details. Students who are unable to complete the work during the semester are eligible for an Incomplete only if the reason
fits the College's guidelines for an incomplete. If an Incomplete is granted, it will automatically convert to the grade of F if the work is not completed
by the end of the following semester.

2. Tests and Make-ups

All quizzes for this course must be completed. The final examination will be delivered during class schedule.

3. Extra Credit. Students are expected to complete the projects as required for the class and to do the best they can on each project
throughout the semester. Thus, it is the policy of the instructor not to give additional assignments for extra credit for students who wish to pull up
their grades at the end of semester.
 Every attempt is made to provide a complete syllabus that provides an accurate overview of the courses. However, circumstances and events may
make it necessary for the instructor to modify the syllabus during the semester. This may depend, in part, on the progress, needs and experiences
of the students.

4. Students participate in the discussion, and answer the discussion questions. Failure to do those in 3 weeks will mean dropping from the course.

5. Requirements such as assignments/projects should be submitted/posted on or before the given deadline.

6. Coordinate with the professor, using various modes given on concerns/problems regarding the requirements.

7. Non-submission of requirements will be incomplete from the course.
