Uses real-life, scenario-based instruction where each mathematical concept is taught using small, useful, real-life mathematical scenarios. Uses a modelling approach to help students determine in which real-life scenario they would use which mathematical concept or skill for solving problems. Covers models of integers, fractions, decimals, percentages and percentage change, ratio and rate, basic descriptive statistics, charts, and graphs, linear growth, and exponential growth. Demonstrates mathematics as a tool for modeling specific real-life situations. Uses calculators, computer software, and the Internet, and that they are used as tools for understanding. Prepares students for MAT1030, Quantitative Reasoning.
