These courses pick up on key elements of Foundations Math 1 and 2 by building a solid foundation of math skills including rounding, using basic math operations with the support of a calculator, and converting decimals, fractions and percents. A primary focus throughout the course is to calculate total wages and total expenses. Elements of Algebra and Geometry are woven into the course to help solve everyday problems. Students will be asked to solve a proportion, create an algebraic equation from a scenario, calculate perimeter and area, and convert units of measurement. After a foundation of skills is built, students will apply to real-world situations like calculating tip, bill, taxes paid, gross pay, and converting units of measurement.
