Prerequisite: Algebra II

Description: The goal of this course is to put algebraic skills to use in applied word problems and projects. All of our activities will be using math skills students learn in algebra II and applying them to solve new and fun problems. Students will be encouraged to collaborate and discuss different ideas for approaching challenges, focusing on using mathematical language and improving their creative problem-solving skills. We will use technology to build our understanding of graphs and how they relate to their equations as well as to help us make models based on real-world data. The class is designed for students of any level who have already taken an Algebra II course who want to deepen their applied understanding of the subject and talk creatively about math with their peers.
