Optional Discussion Questions

Week One Discussion Questions

• Prime numbers are often used in cryptography. Why do you think prime numbers would be more useful for creating codes than composite numbers?

• Explain a real-world problem that you used math to solve. What mathematical expressions did you use in your problem-solving? Define your variables and explain your expression.

• Why is it important to follow the order of operations? What are some possible outcomes when the order of operations is ignored? If you invented a new notation where the order of operations was made clear, what would you do to make it clear?

• Experience a Live Math Tutoring session by clicking the Live Math Tutoring link under Useful Links on the Materials tab of the student website. Ask the tutor to assist you with a Week One homework problem or concept. Post the problem or concept a tutor helped you with, the date and time of the tutoring session, and how valuable you think having live tutors with 24/7 availability will be for your success in this course. Please also share whether you joined a one-on-one or a group session and which whiteboard tools you found to be most helpful in your discussions with the tutor.

Week Two Discussion Questions

• What resources are available to help you do well in this course? Which resources do you think will help you the most? Why? How do you plan to use the resources available to optimize your learning over the next four weeks?

• Can a linear equation and a linear inequality be solved in the same way? Explain why. What makes them different?

• What are the four steps for solving an equation? Should any other factors be accounted for when solving an equation? Should any factors be accounted for when explaining how to solve an equation? Explain your answer.

• What are the four steps for solving a problem? Should any other factors be accounted for when solving a problem? Should any factors be accounted for when explaining how to solve a problem? Explain your answer.

Week Three Discussion Questions

• Imagine that a line on a Cartesian graph is approximately the distance y in feet a person walks in x hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful? Provide another example for your colleagues to explain.

• What is the difference between a scatterplot and a line graph? Provide an example of each. Does one seem better than the other? In what ways is it better?

• If a line has no y-intercept, what can you say about the line? What if a line has no x-intercept? Think of a real-life situation where a graph would have no x- or y-intercept. Will what you say about the line always be true in that situation?

• Explain the concept of modeling. How does a model describe known data and predict future data? How do models break down? Can you think of an example?

• What are the differences among expressions, equations, and functions? Provide examples of each.

Week Four Discussion Questions

• How do you write a system of linear equations in two variables? Explain this in words and by using mathematical notation in an equation.

• What are two symbolic techniques used to solve linear equations? Which do you feel is better? Explain why.

• How many solution sets do systems of linear inequalities have? Do solutions to systems of linear inequalities need to satisfy both inequalities? In what case might they not?

• Do the equations x = 4y + 1 and x = 4y – 1 have the same solution? How might you explain your answer to someone who has not learned algebra?

Week Five Discussion Questions

• What are the practical usages of scientific notation? Why is scientific notation so important in our modern day society?

• What would be the value of expressing something like the national debt in scientific notation? What information would be lost in such a usage? Is that important? Explain why or why not.

• Using the readings discussed in this course, provide one real-world application of the information learned that has been the most valuable to you. Why has it been valuable?

• How do you think you will use the information you learned in this course in the future? Which concepts will be most important to you? Which will be least important? Explain your answers.

• If your son or daughter asked you why they needed to learn math in school, what would you tell them?

• Provide one real-world example of when graphing could be useful. Do you think you would ever use graphing in your life to solve problems? Explain why or why not.

• What concept learned in this course was the easiest for you to grasp? Why do you think it was easy for you? Which was the hardest? What would have made it easier to learn?

• Knowing what you know now about mathematics, how would you explain to a friend the value of mathematics in everyday life?

...University of Phoenix Material Using MyMathLab® Pearson’s MyMathLab® is an online textbook resource that is used to generate online homework assignments and test questions using problems from the text. The questions are selected from specific sections of the text and are automatically graded by the MyMathLab® software. In addition, extra assistance such as step-by-step instructions, animations, and videos explaining concepts are available within MyMathLab® and varies between problems. As noted in the syllabus, all individual assignments in MTH/208 are to be completed through Pearson’s MyMathLab®. The link to this online resource is available on your student website. When you access MyMathLab®, you will see a link on the left side of the screen for homework and tests. At the top of that list is the MyMathLab® Orientation, which you will complete in Week One. Complete this orientation prior to working any problems. Another feature of MyMathLab® is the study plan, which is generated when you complete the weekly self-check exercises. The study plan captures any questions you missed in the self-check and shows you which sections of the text you should review. To review those sections, which are indicated by a pencil icon, click on the title of the chapter or section and you will be directed to the text. Note. The study plan is only generated when you complete the self-check exercises. Completing only the individual assignments will not generate the study plan. The self-check...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
