MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Identify and analyze measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement. (I) 2. Use appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements. (I) 3. Distinguish between standard and nonstandard units and among one, two, and three-dimensional applications. (I) 4. Describe, model, draw, and classify one, two, and three- dimensional shapes. (II) 5. Explore a variety of geometric concepts and relationships using appropriate technologies and concrete models. (II) 6. Investigate symmetry, reflections, translations, and rotations. (II) 7. Interpret probability in real-world situations. (III) 8. Conduct probability experiments using technologies and concrete models. (III) 9. Distinguish between experimental and theoretical probabilities. (III) 10. Collect, organize, analyze, and display data using multiple representations. (IV) 11. Identify patterns and trends found in data using technologies and concrete models. (IV) 12. Use appropriate statistical measures. (IV) 13. Use significant electronic technologies throughout the course. This must include interactive geometry software, electronic spreadsheet and word processing software, Internet access and graphing calculators. (I, II, III, IV)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
