Mathematics

• Lecture-based, question/answer format with paper/pencil tests.
  • Computerized mastery learning method – students may work either online or offline
    1. Our online system provides automatic feedback so students don’t practice problems incorrectly
    2. Students must achieve 80% correct and receive 100% for the assignment if completed on time
    3. If a problem is missed, students can choose to either miss the problem and immediately see how to do the problem correctly or try a similar problem with no penalty
    4. Students may try the computerized homework as many times as they wish
  • Free tutoring
    • FSCC offers free tutoring from instructors and peers

Each year, FSCC hosts the Math Relays, a mathematics competition for area high school students. Students can compete in up to four of the ten math contests; NO CALCULATORS. Individual medals are awarded for first, second, and third place in each event for each grade level and the three highest scoring schools are awarded a plaque.

Specific information about the relays is HERE.
