Effective date
January 2023
Department
CF - Mathematics
Description
Students will solve problems in geometry, measurement, trigonometry and right angle triangles, statistics and financial math. Students will look for patterns, make inferences, draw scale diagrams of 2-D and 3-D shapes, simplify problems, eliminate possibilities and develop alternative approaches to mathematical problems. Students will evaluate complex mathematical expressions using a calculator or appropriate mathematical software
Both MATH 0862 and MATH 0872 are required for ABE Advanced Level Foundations of Mathematics.
The use of a graphing calculator or other technology is optional.
