1. THE NEW MATHWAYS PROJECT NMP Alison Garza & Cynthia Martinez

2. OVERVIEW

3. 3 MATH PATHWAYS Statistics Pathway – Fall 2013 Quantitative Literacy Pathway – Fall 2014 STEM Prep Pathway – Fall 2015

5. MATH PATHWAY COURSE CONTENT Designed with the student’s goals in mind Relevant Challenging Aligned to specific fields of study Curriculum design based on proven practice Supporting student success course

6. STATISTICS PATHWAY Fall 2013

7. SAMPLE OF ELEMENTARY STATISTICS PROBLEM During a one-year selling period (225 days), a sales representative made between 0 and 9 sales per day, as shown in the table. If this pattern continues, what is the expected value for the number of sales per day? # of sales, x 0123456789 Frequency, f (in days) 2548604520108531

8. PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS Identify the possible outcomes and find the probability of each. Find the product of each outcome and its corresponding probability. Find the sum of the products. Interpret the results.

9. IDENTIFY THE POSSIBLE OUTCOMES AND FIND THE PROBABILITY OF EACH. # of sales, x 0123456789 Frequency, f (in days) 2548604520108531 P(x)1/916/754/151/54/452/458/2251/451/751/225

10. FIND THE PRODUCT OF EACH OUTCOME AND ITS CORRESPONDING PROBABILITY. # of sales, x 0123456789 Frequency, f (in days) 2548604520108531 P(x)1/916/754/151/54/452/458/2251/451/751/225 x*P(x)016/758/153/516/452/1516/757/458/751/25

11. FIND THE SUM OF THE PRODUCTS. 0 + 16/75 + 8/15 + 3/5 + 16/45 + 2/15 + 16/75 + 7/45 + 8/75 + 1/25 = 529/225

12. INTERPRET THE RESULTS. # of sales, x 0123456789 Frequency, f (in days) 2548604520108531 P(x)1/916/754/151/54/452/458/2251/451/751/225 x*P(x)016/758/153/516/452/1516/757/458/751/25 Since the sum of products is 529/225 ≈ 2.35, then the sales representative is expected to sell about 2 vehicles per day.

13. RECRUITMENT FOR FALL 2013 & IMPACT ON STUDENTS

24. WHY IS NMP IMPORTANT TO YOU? State funding based on Momentum Points

25. WHY IS NMP IMPORTANT TO YOU? New TSI Requirements The TSI requirements will be increased for the next school year. Students may be required to take more developmental math courses. This could have an effect on our students seeking certification in such fields as nursing.. NMP offers these students another way to meet the TSI requirements and allows them to earn more college credit, helping the college with momentum points.

26. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT NMP? The New Mathways Project is one of our QEP strategies! Get the word out to students about NMP. Tell students to speak to an advisor or contact either mathematics department. Only 9 Texas schools are currently participating in the project, but ALL of Texas, and MANY other states are watching us closely! Each of us plays a role in the success of our students and this program that could be so valuable to them.
