This course is designed to cover mathematics in real life. In term one, students will learn how to manage finances and process real-life scenarios of financial budgeting, investments, and taxes.

We will learn math standards based on ACT. Formative Assessments will be given for each standard. Formatives will be given as needed. The Formative will be given regardless of absences. If a student gets a score of 79% or lower the student will go to Reteach on Mondays and Thursdays to relearn and retake the Formative. Thursdays will be for general questions and extra help, as well. If your student is absent for the Formative, they will automatically be sent to Reteach. Attached is my own course syllabus
