COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Consumer Mathematics, students learn mathematical concepts that they will use in their daily lives. They focus on real-world topics that require addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, as well as fractions, decimals, ratios, proportions, and percentages. Students also explore the ways in which real-life activities such as traveling, purchasing a new car or house, or even installing new carpeting relates to mathematics. Consumer Mathematics relates everyday mathematics concepts to concrete definitions, processes, and many real-life situations.
