I combines mathematics topics in an integrated program. Algebra, geometry, statistics, and logic are presented as tools for investigating phenomena and exploring new math concepts. Algebra concepts are used to enhance the students critical thinking skills.
Course work includes as many hands-on activities as possible.
This program sets the stage for the relevance of mathematics in the world of work. Materials used for this class are from Cord Applied Mathematics. Each unit contains problems that are real life situations. The use of calculators is encouraged. Students complete activities in small groups, helping one another, discussing approaches and solutions with each other and with the teacher, as required.
