Gaganao Course Description: This course deals with nature of mathematics, appreciation of its practical, intellectual, and aesthetic dimensions, and application of mathematical tools in daily life. The course begins with an introduction of 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 a set of formulas but as a source of aesthetic in patterns of nature, for example, and a rich language in itself (and of science) governed by logic and reasoning. The course then proceeds to survey ways in which mathematics provide a tool for understanding and dealing with various aspects of present-day living, such as managing personal finances, making social choices, appreciating geometric designs, understanding codes used in data transmissions and security, and dividing limited resources fairly. These aspects will provide opportunities for actually doing mathematics in a broad range of exercises that bring out the various dimensions of mathematics as a way of knowing, and test the students understanding and capacity.

Internalize the vision, mission, goals, and objectives of the institution. 2. Discuss and argue about the nature of mathematics, what it is, how it is expressed and used. 3. Use different types of reasoning to justify statements and arguments made about mathematics and mathematical concepts. 4. Discuss the language and symbols of mathematics. 5. Use a variety of statistical tools to proceed and manage numerical data. 6. Use mathematics in other areas such as finances, business, arts and design, voting and other areas of endeavor. 7. Appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life. 8. Affirm honesty and integrity in the appreciation of mathematics of various human endeavors. Reaction or Reflection Paper Class Policies 1. Attend classes regularly & punctually. Since punctuality and regular attendance is of prime importance in the teaching world, it will receive the same consideration in the classroom. To ensure successful completion of this course, students are expected to arrive for class on time and to remain in class until the end of the session. The student will be considered dropped from the class after missing 20% of the total number of hours required for the subject. 2. All students are expected to behave with academic honesty. It is not academically honest to misrepresent another person’s work as your own, to take credit for someone else’s words or ideas, to obtain advanced information on confidential test materials, or to act in a way that might harm another student’s chances for academic success. These students will automatically have a grade of 5.0 after three (3) offences of academic dishonesty. 3. Assignments should be submitted on the period set as deadline. Late assignments will be deducted accordingly. 4. All students are expected to take Major Exams (Mid-term/Final) on specified approved dates. In general, no make-up test Grading System There will be four (4) rating periods: Preliminary Midterm, Midterm, Pre-Finals and Finals. 1. The grades for each rating period shall be computed as: 60% - Class Standing 40%- Major Examination ------------------------------------------------------------- Grade for the corresponding rating period 2. Class Standing (60 %) Quizzes – 20 % Class Participation - 20% Reqts/Written output – 20 % 3. Major Examination (40 %) 4. Midterm Grade = (Preliminary +Midterm Grade)/2 5. Final Grade = (Pre-Finals + Finals)/2 6. Average Grade = (Midterm Grade + Final Grade)/2 ESSU-ACAD-501 I Version 2 Page 3 of 4 Effectivity Date: March 01, 2019 or re-test will be given except when circumstances warrant but with valid supporting documents. 5. Group activities will be part of the class participation. Students should participate actively and get involved in group dynamics & other group assignments. 6. Other course policies will be based on the student handbook. References: 1. Aufman, R., Lckwood, J., Nation, R., Clegg, D., & Epp, S. (2018). Mathematics in the modern world Philippine edition.
