The SUNY "Pre-Precalculus Project" is aimed at a large and growing number of mathematically underprepared and/or unmotivated students at both two- and four-year colleges. To address the many special needs of students who fail to achieve in courses such as introductory or intermediate algebra at the college level, this project is developing a new approach to pre-precalculus featuring a revamped curriculum involving contextual problem-solving, an integrated use of technology, an improved pedagogy emphasizing active, collaborative efforts by students and faculty, and authentic assessment tied more closely to the course and real world skills. A series of curriculum development workshops over a two-year period is addressing these issues. The goal of the project is the design of a sequence of two 4-hour pre-precalculus courses and the creation of the instructional materials to support them. These two courses are replacing all developmental college mathematics courses prior to precalculus. As a result of the diversity and expertise of this coalition of twelve SUNY two-and four-year colleges, the project plans to empower students with the mathematics they need in order to survive and flourish in an increasingly technological and sophisticated 21st Century. The model and materials developed by the project are appropriate for many such underprepared students throughout the country.

纽约州立大学“预科微积分项目”针对的是两年制和四年制大学中大量且不断增长的数学准备不足和/或缺乏积极性的学生。为了满足未能在大学水平的入门或中级代数等课程中取得成绩的学生的许多特殊需求，该项目正在开发一种新的预微积分方法，其特点是改进的课程，涉及情境问题解决、技术的综合使用、改进的教学法，强调学生和教师的积极、协作努力，以及与课程和现实世界技能更紧密联系的真实评估。为期两年的一系列课程开发研讨会正在解决这些问题。该项目的目标是设计一系列两门 4 小时的微积分预备课程，并创建支持这些课程的教学材料。这两门课程正在取代微积分之前的所有发展性大学数学课程。由于纽约州立大学 12 所两年制和四年制学院联盟的多样性和专业知识，该项目计划为学生提供所需的数学知识，以便他们在日益技术和复杂的 21 世纪生存和发展。 该项目开发的模型和材料适合全国许多此类准备不足的学生。
