3. Defining the Mathematics Crisis in Hawai‘i – Math Summit I Many UH CC-bound HS grads need remedial or developmental courses in math – maybe Fall 2006 placement test data and enrollment data OVPAPP/Hawai‘I P-20 : 10.10.08 Note: Percentages may vary greatly due to lack of common placement/course numbering. Colleges currently define which group to count students in. Fall 2006 and 2007 data are as received from the colleges.

7. Defining the Mathematics Crisis in Hawai‘i – Math Summit I Not enough students performing well in UH pipeline to higher level math courses OVPAPP/Hawai‘I P-20 : 10.10.08 Nots: Courses selected are those with enrollment >500 for xx semesters (Fall 2005 to Spring 2008). Data combines enrollment across UH campuses and terms. “Success” is defined as a student earning a grade of A, B, or C in the course.
