Math placement test – MTH099

An introductory math course focusing on equations, factoring, rational exponents, analytical geometry and trigonometry.

Students starting their math studies at ICM in MTH099 will also need to complete MTH103 before being eligible to take most university-level math and science subjects.

Below is a list of different concepts that will be reviewed in the class, along with some helpful videos from the popular Khan Academy website, a free online resource.

Practice exercises include concepts of arithmetic and pre-algebra. View links to the study material.

Practices in basic equations and inequalities solving.

• Simple equations of the form ax = b
• Plotting inequalities on a number line

This section covers terms, coefficients and exponents in polynomial.

• Terms coefficients and exponents in a polynomial

Practices include solving quadratic equations by factoring, simplifying rational expressions, and solving rational equations.

• Solving a quadratic equation by factoring
