COURSE DESCRIPTION
Mathematics for the Technologies is a program of mathematical studies focusing on the development of the students ability to understand and apply mathematics to solve realistic workplace problems. Students will gain practice doing work as both individuals and members of a team. The Algebra I end-of-course test will be given at the completion of the course. The end-of-course test will count 20% of the students overall average. Topics covered in this course will be on the end-of-course test.
GOALS/OBJECTIVES
Students will understand functions with an emphasis on the following subtopics: relationships, linear functions, quadratic functions, data representations, generalizations, algebraic symbols, matrices, algebraic expressions, and problem solving.
Students will study linear functions with a focus on: representations, interpretations, equations, inequalities, and systems of linear equations.
Students will familiarize themselves with quadratics and other functions
