Course Description

This series is designed for users who want to improve their basic math skills. It covers basic mathematical calculations commonly used in business settings. Courses cover computing fractions and decimals, the order of operations for combined computations, and solving equations and word problems. It includes the use of proportions, ratios, and percentages, and also provides instruction on the use of a calculator for business applications.

Outcome

After completing this course, students will be able to: Fractions Recognize how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions Explain how to write equal fractions Solve combined computations Use fractions to solve application problems Decimals Compare decimals and round decimals to the nearest tenth and nearest hundredth Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals Perform combined addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems using the rules of order Solve math problems using decimals Calculator Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with a calculator Use the constant function Multiply and divide by fractions Use the percent key to do percent calculations Solve squares and square roots Perform chain calculations and combined operations Use common formulas to perform financial calculations Equations Solve simple equations Solve word problems by using formulas Create ratios to express the relationship between two amounts Use proportions to solve problems involving comparisons of ratios Solve math problems using ratios and proportions Solve math problems using equations Percents Convert a decimal to a percent and a percent to a decimal Convert decimals to fractions, fractions to decimals, and fractions to percents Define the terms base, rate, and percentage and identify them in word problems Solve math problems using percents Reports Define mean, median, and mode Calculate a simple average Determine the type of average that best represents the measure of central tendency Distinguish between a simple average and a weighted average Calculate a weighted average Identify various types of graphs and charts Read and interpret graphs Select appropriate graphs

Assessment

Students may master the course/s by achieving a percentage at or above 70% for each individual lesson, through their scoring results of the course questions, the skill assessment, or a combination of both.
