<< I am again trying to gather information. I am very interested in how you,
as mathematics educators define developmental mathematics at the college
level. What level is it? arithmetic? elementary algebra? intermediate
algebra? other?

On the flip side, how would you define a high level of mathematics at the
high school level? two years of math, three years of math, four years of
math, other?

at the college level? intermediate algebra? college algebra? precalculus?
calculus? other?

I am very much interested in your response. You can reply to me at

I define developmental math at college to be any course that does NOT fulfill
the general ed requirement for a bachelor's degree.

The typical high school student should complete Algebra I. After that,
geometry, alg 2, trig I consider to be college prep courses and, thus, higher
level. Advanced math at high school I consider to be Calculus.
