Course Description:
Advanced Quantitative Reasoning is a fourth year rigorous and relevant course to follow Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. AQR is designed for students who may pursue a non-mathematics-intensive major in business, social sciences, or the arts at the postsecondary level as well as for students who may enter workforce training programs or technical certificate programs directly after high school graduation.
This course is not a skills class rather it is a process and justification math course. Students are expected to communicate and present on a DAILY basis.
AQR course outline I. Analyzing Numerical Data II. Probability III. Analyzing Statistical Studies IV. Designing a Study V. A Discrete Look at Change VI. More Models of Change VII. Spatial and Geometric Modeling VIII. Networks and Graphs IX. Decision Making

Class Expectations
The daily behavior of a class will determine the success of this course. While you cannot control the behavior of your peers you can determine for yourself how to behave.
Your Behavior is Your Responsibility
I expect you to take an active role in your learning. I expect that we will work together to create an enjoyable classroom environment in which we can cooperatively learn. Needed materials should be brought to class daily, homework should be completed every night assigned, and difficulties with a particular assignment should be addressed prior to the class in which it is due. I expect you to follow all guidelines and policies in the student handbook. Class starts at the bell. You are expected to have your pencils sharpened, have all required materials out on your desk, and to be ready for class when the bell rings. I will not supply pencils, extra paper, or any other materials for your use.
