Other topics include graphing and graph interpretation, simple geometric applications, an introduction to equations, and the metric system. This course provides one of the two years of mathematics required for graduation but does not meet a requirement for college admission. 1 Applied Math B Students use a unique approach to learn mathematics from a technical perspective. Mathematical applications in the areas of communications, manufacturing, construction, transportation, and energy are emphasized. Problem-solving techniques, estimation, measurement, geometry, data handling, and statistics are some of the areas covered.
Students acquire the ability to understand and apply functional mathematics in the world of work.
1 Pre-Algebra Students prepare for future success in algebra. They develop background concepts and skills for algebra in order to apply these skills to real-life situations. They practice, apply, review, and explore beginning algebraic concepts. 1 Algebra Part One Students review essentials from pre-algebra during the first semester and sufficient algebraic background so that they can continue mathematical study during the second semester. They focus on the development and application of algebraic concepts rather than on arithmetic skills.
