Course Outline

SEMESTER 1

Practical Math A, Unit 1: Working with Data

Graphs are often used to represent numerical facts, or data. The graph used depends on the kind of numbers in the data set. For example, a line graph would probably be the best graph to use to represent average temperatures: change over time. In this unit, students learn how to read graphs and how to tell if a graph is accurate or misleading.

Practical Math A, Unit 2 Project: Statistics in the Media

The media uses statistics all the time. Certain facts are described using numbers and other times they are described using graphs. In this project, students research examples of how statistics are used in the media.

Practical Math A, Unit 3: Connections Between Data

It has been shown that the amount of sleep a person gets each day decreases as they get older. How would someone show the connections between the age of a person and the amount of sleep that person gets each day? In this unit, students learn how to show connections among data.

Practical Math A, Unit 7: Mathematical

Robert Boyle wrote an equation that describes how the pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas relate to each other. Boyle's Law is a useful model that has helped scientists and engineers solve countless problems. Thanks to Boyle's Law, scuba divers can explore the ocean's depths. The first step to solving many real-world problems is figuring out how to write the math that describes what is going on.

SEMESTER 2

Practical Math B, Unit 1: Income

Most people get and keep a job so they can make money. It might seem that if someone earns $8 an hour and works for 10 hours, then that person would end up with $80, but it isn't quite that simple. To understand where the money they earn goes, students need to learn about taxes and other deductions. Once they have money, they can use savings and checking accounts to manage their basic finances. Once students know how to figure out their paycheck and how to manage bank accounts, they will be well on their way to financial independence.

Practical Math B, Unit 3: Budgeting

A person without a budget could run out of money and be unable to pay the bills. Learning how to budget money is the only way to avoid this. In fact, having a budget can help people avoid debt and save money. Knowing how to budget and how credit works helps people be in control of their finances.

Practical Math B, Unit 5: Saving Money

People who stick to their budget often find they have money left over to invest. Investing money is a good idea because it grows over time. But to understand investments, students need to know more about interest. Once they understand their investments, students are able to make good investments and watch their money grow.
