A Guide to Your Modular Math Course
Joseph Lee
Introduction
Welcome to modular math. Modular math is designed to get students through Developmental Math,
Beginning Algebra, and Intermediate Algebra. The course is divided into “modules” which represent a
week of material.
About the Author
My name is Joseph Lee, and I am one of the many math instructors here at Metropolitan Community
College who teaches a modular math course. I have taught at this college since 2007, and the first modular
course I taught was in the Winter of 2012. During the Spring quarter of 2014, I tried to organize some
of the details of this course in this guide. This guide is by no means a complete work, but if any of this
information is helpful in your course, please use it at your convenience.
If there are any questions or comments, I can be reached by phone (402-289-1356) or email ([email protected]).
Other infomation about my classes may be found on my faculty webpage (faculty.mccneb.edu/jdlee3).
To the Student
Here at Metropolitan Community College, students may take math courses in one of four different formats:
• traditional,
• online,
• computer enhanced, and
• modular.
While students may prefer one mode of instruction to another, it has been my experience that students may
be successful in any of these formats. The reverse is also true. Students who are absent from class, who
don’t spend time outside of class studying, and who don’t seek out their instructor for help will struggle
in any of our four formats. To be successful, students enrolled in modular math should understand being
successful in this course will require the same time and dedication that would be needed for any other
math course. Being on time and present for every class is expected. Spending time outside of class working
on homework every night is expected. Students who do not practice these habits in my traditional classes
find they are unlikely to succeed, as do students in my modular courses.

Mod 1 - Sec 1.7
Mod 1 - Chapter 1 Pre-Test
Number of questions: 30
No calculator allowed.
Chapter 1 covers division, exponents, the order of operations, and application problems.
Mod 1 - Sec 1.5
Section 1.5 covers long division. Understand the following difference:
• 0 divided by a number1 is 0.
• a number divided by 0 is undefined.
Mod 1 - Sec 1.6
Section 1.6 covers exponents and the order of operations. Operations must be performed in the following
order:
1. Perform any operations inside parenthesis.
2. Evaluate any exponents.
3. Perform any multiplication or division, from left to right.
4. Perform any addition or subtraction, from left to right.
A common mistake:
Incorrect Order :
Correct Order :
18 ÷ 2 × 9 6= 18 ÷ 18 = 1
18 ÷ 2 × 9 = 9 × 9 = 81
Mod 1 - Sec 1.7
Section 1.7 covers the rounding and the principal of estimation. To estimate2 , always round the very first
digit in each number, and then perform any operations. For example,
265 + 1459 + 43, 921
≈ 300 + 1000 + 40, 000
≈ 41, 300.

Mod 5 - Sec 3.2
Section 3.2 covers ordering and rounding. To compare two decimals, keep in mind that you may add extra
0’s to right of the decimal. For example, to compare
2.47
2.476,
write 2.47 as 2.470. Thus, we may see that
2.470 < 2.476.

Mod 13 - Sec 2.5 B
Section 2.5 covers solving equations with variables on both sides of an equation. When you have variables
on both sides of the equation, you may end up with a solution of all real numbers or have no solution:
8x − (3 + 4x) = 2(2x − 2)
8x − 3 − 4x = 4x − 4
4x − 3 = 4x − 4
−3 = −4
The equation represents a contradiction, as −3 6= −4. Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.
Here is another example:
−5 + 3x + 9 = 4x − (x − 4)
3x + 4 = 4x − x + 4
3x + 4 = 3x + 4
4= 4
The equation represents an identity, as 4 = 4. Therefore, the solution to this equation is all real numbers.

What are the most important things to know for this test?
• Always factor out the GCF first. For example,
12x2 + 75 = 3(4x2 + 25).
• Be able to factor any trinomial. For example,
6x2 + 11x − 10 = (3x − 2)(2x + 5).
• Be able to factor the difference of squares, a2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b). For example,
4x2 − 25 = (2x)2 − (5)2
= (2x + 5)(2x − 5)
• Understand that the sum of squares, a2 + b2 , is prime (cannot be factored).
Page 39

• Be able to factor the sum and difference of cubes, a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 − ab + b2 and a3 − b3 =
(a − b)(a2 + ab + b2 ). For example,
27x3 + 8 = (3x)3 + (2)3
= (3x + 2)(9x2 − 6x + 4)
• When asked to “determine the value or values of the variable for which the expression is defined,”
understand that you must identify what would make the denominator equal to zero.
• To simplify, multiply, or divide rational expressions, you must factor everything first.

Section 6.2 covers factoring trinomials and introduces the idea of using a substitution. Here is an example
of using a substitution to factor a polynomial:
(x + 7)2 − 6(x + 7) − 16 = u2 − 6u − 16

x−4= 0
3x + 2 = 0
(3x + 2)(x − 4) = 0
3x2 − 10x − 8 = 0
Hint (Question 13): This question asks you to apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the given triangle.
The Pythagorean Theorem states the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the
square of its hyptonuse. Here’s an example:
x2 + (x + 1)2 = (x + 2)2
x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 = x2 + 4x + 4
2x2 + 2x + 1 = x2 + 4x + 4
x2 − 2x − 3 = 0
(x − 3)(x + 1) = 0
The solution set is {−1, 3}. Since x represents the length of a leg of the triangle, we know x = 3. Thus,
the sides of the triangle are 3, 4, and 5.

Mod 25 - Sec 7.1 A
Section 7.1 covers simplifying, multiplying, and dividing rational expressions. To simplify, multiply, or
divide a rational expression, you must factor first.
Questions 18 and 19 ask you to find the domain of the rational expression. You will recall from
Chapter 3 that the domain represents the possible x-values of the function. Thus, we are looking for what
values of x would make the expression undefined. If the denominator of the rational expression is 0, then
the function is undefined, so that x-value is not in the domain.
Mod 25 - Sec 7.2 A
Section 7.2 covers adding and subtracting rational expressions. To add and subtract rational expressions,
you need to write both fractions with a common denominator. You may write two fractions with the least
common denominator as follows:
x−1
− 5x + 6

4x − 12

Mod 28 - Sec 8.5 A
Section 8.5 covers rationalizing denominators. To rationalize a denominator, you must get rid of any
fractions in any radicals and any radicals in the denominators. You may get rid of a radical in a denominator
by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the appropriate radical:

Mod 28 - Sec 8.6 A
Section 8.6 covers solving equations involving radicals. To solve an equation with square roots, square
both sides. As you did in Section 7.4, you must also check that your answers are not extraneous:
√
x + 1 = x + 13
(x + 1)2 =
√
x + 13
2
x2 + 2x + 1 = x + 13
x2 + x − 12 = 0
(x + 4)(x − 3) = 0
x−3=0
x+4=0
x = −4
However, x = −4 is extraneous, as
−4 + 1 6=
x=3
√
−4 + 13.
Thus, our solution is x = 3.
Mod 28 - Sec 8.7 A
Section 8.7 introduces complex numbers. The following definitions are identical and are used throughout
the section:
i2 = −1
√
i = −1
The imaginary unit, i, allows us to simplify the square root of negative numbers:

Mod 29 - Sec 9.1 A
Section 9.1 covers the square root principle and completing the square. The square root principle states
that you may take the square root of both sides an equation, but only if you consider both positive
and negative solutions:
x2 = 9
√
√
x2 = ± 9
x = ±3
Completing the square involves finding a constant to add to a polynomial to make it a square:
x2 + 8x +
(x +
)2 = (x + 4)2
= x2 + 8x + 16

This procedure allows you to solve any quadratic equation:
x2 + 8x + 2 = −5
x2 + 8x
= −7
x2 + 8x + 16 = −7 + 16
(x + 4)2 = 9
p
√
(x + 4)2 = ± 9
x + 4 = ±3
x = −4 ± 3
x = −1
x = −7
Here is another example:
x2 − 6x + 1 = 0
x2 − 6x
= −1
x2 − 6x + 9 = −1 + 9
(x − 3)2 = 8
