COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Apply understanding of decimals, fractions, percents, and conversions among them to

    workplace problem solving.

2.  Use measurements from U.S. Standard and metric system with basic principles of geometry

    for planning and implementing tasks related to specific career and technical fields.

3.  Interpret graphs and charts as they relate to specific workplaces.

4.  Use appropriate technology in the process of computation for workplace problem solving.

 

Objectives:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Apply arithmetic concepts using whole numbers and decimals as they relate to a specific

    workplace;

2. Review arithmetic concepts using fractions, mixed numbers, and conversions between

    fractions and decimals as they relate to a specific workplace;

3. Compute proportions and percent problems used in a specific workplace.

4. Use the metric system in arithmetic problems that relate to a specific workplace.

5. Apply basic principles of geometry as they relate to a specific work situation.

6. Interpret basic representation of data as represented in graphs and charts.

7. Use appropriate technology in the process of making computations in the workplace

    e.g. construction, landscaping, culinary, healthcare, and office work.
