SUNY General Education
Student Learning Outcomes in Math
In response to NYSMATYC resolution re: math outcomes and SCBAproposed revisions to math
outcomes and course guidelines
Students will demonstrate the ability to: interpret and draw inferences from mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables and
schematics;
represent mathematical information symbolically, visually, numerically and verbally; and
solve mathematical problems that require the selection of strategies and the integration ofappropriate concepts and procedures.
If a student has passed either the Regents Math B exam or the Regents Algebra 2 and Trigonometry
exam with a score of 85 or above, the campus may judge the student to have satisfied all the learningoutcomes for this category.
In addition to the three outcomes above, campuses are encouraged to teach students to estimate and
check mathematical results for reasonableness, and to recognize the limits of mathematical and
statistical methods in solving problems. Campuses may include these as additional outcomes.
