Consumer Real World Math
This is a year-long course.
This Math course provides a comprehensive look at the study of applied mathematics. Students are challenged to develop a deep understanding of mathematics in daily life. This course will meet the rigor of an algebra 1 course, but explain concepts using a real-world approach.
