Math 3 covers a wide variety of topics. Students should work in order to maximize their learning potential. As the teacher for the course, you can add a syllabus here for parents to use.
Enduring Understanding
The student will understand:
- Mathematics is used everyday by most individuals.
- Businesses have to use basic mathematical concepts to control the flow of money to make a profit.
- All individuals need to know how to add, subtract, divide and multiply for any job or occupation in life.
- Mathematics learned in elementary school can be used well into adult life.
- Mathematics like reading is used in other content areas such as science and social studies and needs to be understood in these other contexts.
Essential Questions
- How can you tell the difference between a square, circle and triangle?
- Why does the United States use the English system of measurement and not the metric system of measurement as its common measurement system?
- Why would it be important to know the difference between dry and liquid measurement?
- Why would a person need to know how to read data given at an airport?
- How can a person read a graph and then use this information to make a prediction?
- Why would a carpenter need to know the problems that incorrect angles can have on the house he is building?
- Why is time considered a measurement?
- Why would a person need to be able to figure out the probability of something happening?
- Why would a store manager be happier if they made $875.35 instead of $87.53?
- Why would a person want to split a whole pizza with someone rather than a half of a pizza?
- How is ordering fractions similar to whole numbers and how is it different?
