Work in Progress: Alternative Developmental Math Curriculum Designed to Accelerate the Sequential Coursework by Implementing Quantitative Reasoning.

The alternative developmental math curriculum offered at two North DakotaTribally Controlled Colleges using a modified pedagogical delivery system offers sound mathematical principals based on life-skills with relevant problem-solving, while explicitly addressing other holistic needs of the student such as math anxiety, persistence, mindset, and the value of collaboration (group work). This cooperative work is intended to create a community of learning which is in tune with traditional Native American cultural practices. Students learn to be responsible for their learning, engage in teamwork, and develop an assenting attitude towards mathematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
