Consumer Math

Consumer Math is an introduction to the many ways in which math can be used in everyday life. The course gives practical advice on how to handle situations that involve money and math principles.

​Consumer Math focuses on the basic skills and methods of arithmetic and provides students the opportunity to develop experience with algebraic techniques of evaluating variables and equations, including geometric formulas and interest equations. Students will also be introduced to topics in statistics.

Note: Consumer Math is an excellent course for both practical math use and more formal algebra and geometry concepts. Keep in mind that Consumer Math is not considered a math course when meeting math credits for graduation but is an elective.
