Course description

This course will build upon students? learning in previous math courses (Algebra 1; Geometry; and Algebra 2).† Units of study will include applications of large numbers in the context of the real world (comparing professional baseball salary to college tuition; US deficit; etc.).† Students will understand the difference between accuracy and precision; absolute vs. relative error; and understand units in context (and the misuse of units in media).†† Constant rate of change; linear and exponential regressions; and growth models (specifically population growth and economic growth) will be discussed.† Studies in statistics will include observational and experimental studies; correlation vs. causation; and the bell curve. †Financial Algebra will also be included as a significant area of study; with students using previously learned concepts in Algebra 1 and 2 to study the implications behind financial decisions and predictions.† Throughout the course; the emphasis will be on students connecting their prior learning from Algebra and Geometry into real-world applications and data analysis.

†

(This is to update the current Quantitative Reasoning class which I believe was accidentally given a MTH3 designation.† This course parallels those of surrounding districts - Apache Junction; Queen Creek; and Tempe all of which have Quantitative Reasoning listed as a MTHA designation).
