This course provides an opportunity for students to learn fundamental mathematics concepts using an interactive, problem-based approach. They develop an understanding of fractions, decimals, and percentages by applying them in practical situations; learn to handle data through graphs; develop an understanding of probability; become familiar with scientific notation; and learn to use ratios and proportions to solve problems.

Students who complete this course will develop and apply a variety of problem-solving strategies to real-world situations, using the following skills to solve real-life problems: addition, multiplication, division of whole number, fractions, and decimals; proportions, percentages, and simple ratios; exponents and scientific notation; and charts, graphs, and data tables. Students will also be able to use estimation to arrive at reasonable answers; and use probability to make reasonable predictions.
