Description

Objective:

The course objective is to develop deep, practical quantitative reasoning skills, as well as the problem solving mindsets and confidence to effectively apply mathematical reasoning in a variety of contexts.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Perform difficult mental calculations and estimations with a strong intuitive sense of number relationships, scale and magnitude
  • Interpret and analyze complex units and how they relate to problem solving, and understand and convert common units in English and metric systems
  • Apply a variety of mathematical concepts in real-world contexts, including extract data from complex information sources and graphs, analyze and predict from data, perform financial calculations including interest, create business invoices, etc.
  • Solve complex problems, including plan solutions to complex multi-step problems and perform operations using multiple logical operators
  • Extract relevant information from complex texts, proofread work for grammatical mistakes, perform inferences in complex text, and construct hierarchies of information
  • Analyze financial situations, calculate simple and compound interest, and perform financial calculations
  • Interpret data, calculate measures of central tendency, evaluate outliers, and find information from information sources and determine information relevance
  • Perform financial calculations, including calculating and applying taxes and discounts, using simple and complex interest, choosing the best financial products for various use cases, and understanding the relationships between various business calculations and terms

General Topics:

  • • Number Sense and Mental Math: Fractions, decimals, percents, mental arithmetic and estimation, advanced operations with percents, rounding, exponents, order of operations
  • • Units and Measurement: English and metric units, conversions, measurement devices, complex units, analysis of unit requirements, planning of complex conversions
  • • Data and Information: Measures of central tendency, outliers, using data for prediction, information sources, information relevance
  • • Financial Calculations: Taxes and discounts, interest, choosing financial products, business calculations
