Topics include logic, number theory, geometry, probability, statistics and matrices.
Students can solve quantitative problems by using mathematical skills and current technology.
They can formulate specific questions from vague problems select effective problem solving strategies and know which math operations are appropriate in particular contexts. They can perform mental calculations and estimates with proficiency and decide when an exact answer is needed and when an estimate is more appropriate. They can use tables, graphs, spreadsheets and statistical techniques to organize, interpret and present numerical information. They can judge the validity of quantitative results presented by others. The student will be able to approach problem solving with a variety of strategies, many of which are mentioned in the following objectives 2.
