This course is designed to engage students in complex and realistic situations involving the mathematical phenomena of quantity, change and relationship, and uncertainty through project- and activity-based assessment. Emphasis is placed on authentic contexts that introduce the following concepts:

  • Numeracy
  • Proportional reasoning
  • Dimensional analysis
  • Rates of growth
  • Personal finance
  • Consumer statistics
  • Practical probabilities
  • Mathematics for citizenship

Upon completion, students should be able to utilize quantitative information as consumers and make personal, professional and civic decisions by decoding, interpreting, using and communicating quantitative information found in modern media and encountered in everyday life.
