Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents. A companion course, Applied Mathematics I, is not a prerequisite for this course. After successfully completing Applied Mathematics II, some students may be encouraged to take an algebra course. The course guide and student text are designed to improve students' mathematical skills and conceptual understanding, to increase student awareness of the scope and nature of mathematics, and to improve students' attitudes and self-images. Each unit contains a number of activities that emphasize the application of mathematics as a tool in problem-solving.
Student evaluation is based on effort, attitude, class participation, and achievement.
Unit quizzes and tests are included. The student text contains activity pages for the twelve units. Although the course is intended for tenth graders, it is also appropriate for grades 11-12.
