This program is noncredit, lab-based, and can be run as a self-paced and open entry program when appropriate. Students can repeat the program as often as needed to develop foundational numeracy skills. In order to receive the Certificate of Competency in Whole Numbers, the students need to successfully complete these two courses. After completing this certificate, students should be able to demonstrate number sense involving the whole numbers and exhibit skills involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and their applications."
