THE “M” IN STEM: ESTABLISHING A CO-REQUISITE ALGEBRA LEARNING MODEL

Hinds Community College – Utica Campus Presenters: Jonathan Townes, Assistant Director of Sponsored Grants Willie Perkins, Mathematics Instructor/Co-Project Director

Project Overview

Miss ssion ion Statemen ement: To assist in the matriculation of STEM majors to four-year institutions to obtain STEM related degrees in preparation for graduate school, professional school, and the workforce. Objecti ectives es – To address concepts in developmental mathematics courses while developing basic teamwork, writing, critical thinking skills and self-growth to prepare students for higher level mathematics instruction.

Hinds Community College –Utica Campus College Success Camp (CSC)

HCC-UT CSC is a two-week summer enrichment learning institute that defines the incoming cohort of STEM students in the STEM-UP Academy. ■ Purpose of the College Success Camp – Hinds Community College – Utica Campus College Success Camp (CSC) closes the gap between secondary education mathematics instruction and college/university mathematics instruction for incoming freshmen STEM students.

College Success Camp Program Design

Camp Recruitment Process ■ Target High Schools – Copiah County School District, Claiborne County School District, Warren County School District, Hinds County School District, Jackson Public School District, Clinton Public School District, Madison County School District, Canton Public School District. ■ Target Participants – Incoming HCC-UT Freshmen STEM majoring students ■ High School STEM Coaches Selection – Four(4) - Six (6) Science and Mathematics Instructors at the target high school are screened and chosen to be program coaches and mentors.

College Success Camp Coreq. College Algebra

This is a two-week intense crash course of develoment- 2 mathematics (Intermediate Algebra) that changes lives in a positive and dramatic by Challenging and inspiring students to become self- growers and develop skills essential for success in college and beyond Motivating faculty and staff to mentor student growth and improve the teaching/ learning process they use with students.

Camp Goals

Camp Goals: Grow performance skills of students, faculty, and staff Student: Develop a sense of learner

• wnership

Faculty & Staff: Improve facilitation skills and develop mentoring skills including peer-coaching

Camp Syllabus and Performance Measures

CSC Final Day

■ Examining the growth of camp participants from the Pre-test to the Post-test – Students will be re-taking the final exam for Intermediate Algebra. Camp personnel will examine the growth of students from the results of the exam from Day 1. ■ Participant performance tier placement – Star Performer – STEM-UP Performer – Potential STEM Student – Potential Collegiate Learner – Completion of the Camp ■ STEM-UP Academy selection – Students who have earned a placement of Star Performer, STEM-UP Performer, and Potential STEM student will be granted admittance into the STEM-UP Academy. – Students who have a placement of Potential Collegiate Learner and Completion of the Camp will go through further review by HCC-UT STEM faculty to determine acceptance status.

CSC Participant Course Recommendation

■ Along with student participant ACT scores, this camp will be used to gauge student performance in developmental math to determine if they will enroll in College Algebra, College Algebra with the Co-requisite math lab course, or Intermediate Algebra.

MAZE RUNNER

LEARNING OBJECTIVE WHY

This activity is design to challenge you to work as a team to complete the maze puzzle. On a winning team, each player meshes his or her abilities with other teammates toward achieving the task at hand. In this activity, you learn to appreciate the value of assigning roles and developing a plan at the beginning of a problem-solving process. ■ Develop teamwork skills in a fun problem- solving environment. ■ Identify and then select team roles which will help your team efficiently complete the maze before the other team.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

■ Successfully complete the maze puzzle. ■ Complete a team reflectors report – Team Assessment ■ Complete a team recorders report – Presentation Assessment

MAZE RUNNER

ACTION PLAN

1. Identify the team Captain and team roles a) Team Captain is responsible for assigning team roles to other members and managing team success. b) Spokesperson is the only person responsible for speaking for the team. c) Recorder is responsible for documenting all team responses to the maze puzzle and critical thinking questions. d) Reflector is complete the reflector report 2. Develop a Team Name. 3. Complete the maze puzzle using the questionnaire. The starting point of the maze is indicated with the mark “X”. 4. Once the maze is completed, the spokesperson will raise their hand for the facilitator(s) to verify the maze is correct. 5. After the verification of the maze, the reflector will complete the reflectors report.

Further Research

■ The Hinds Community College – Utica Campus (HCC-UT) STEM Faculty will continue to provide mathematics enrichment for incoming freshmen STEM students. ■ After two years of implementation, HCC-UT STEM faculty will continue monitor the success of students who participate in the college success camp over the next few years. ■ HCC-UT STEM faculty will expound on the co-requisite algebra model and adapt it to

• ther STEM disciplines such as Biology and Chemistry.
