Technical Math for College and Career builds on previous high school math courses to extend mathematical topics and relationships. Emphasis will be placed on the application of mathematics in context and on modeling - a process that uses mathematics to represent, analyze, make predictions, or otherwise provide insight into real-world situations. Students will collect, organize, describe, and use quantitative data and draw inferences from real-world data. Students will represent and process their reasoning and conclusions numerically, graphically, symbolically, and verbally. Technical Math for College and Career will help students develop the mathematical proficiency needed for future course work and in careers including strategic competence (ability to formulate, represent, and solve mathematical problems) and adaptive reasoning (capacity for logical thought, reflection, explanation, and justification). Students will be expected to use technology, including graphing calculators, computers, or data-gathering tools throughout the course. Technical Math for College and Career is a third or fourth-year math course and does not require Arkansas Department of Education Division of Elementary and Secondary Education course approval.
