About the Course
Explore how mathematics relates to food, art, and history in this interactive pre-algebra course. Through weekly meetings, collaborative activities, and hands-on projects, you’ll sharpen your investigative skills, broaden your understanding of pre-algebra concepts, and connect mathematical knowledge to our world as you prepare for a more formal study of mathematics in middle school. This course is ideal for students who have a good understanding of the concepts leading up to pre-algebra, but want to expand their skills through world applications and projects.
Learning Objectives
- Apply critical-thinking skills to identify connections between mathematics and culture
- Explore how mathematics relates to food, art, and history
- Utilize the different descriptions of size from mathematics and statistics to describe scenarios in a variety of contexts
- Develop patterns and sequences to construct relationships, including functions
