ALGEBRA 1 IN MANUFACTURING PROCESSES, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND DESIGN (amped)

This is an Algebra 1 course combined with Intro to Business (S1) and Principles of Management (S2). The course alternates with Algebra 1 one day and Intro to Business or Management the next. All of the same standards are covered as any other Algebra 1 course but in the context of running a t-shirt manufacturing business. Students are in charge of sales, design, production, and billing for our t-shirt printing business. We use our data from the business and real-world applications to learn the mathematics. "Mathematics with a Purpose" is the goal of this program. This course asks students to be driven in asking questions, working in cooperative groups and learning through a different non-traditional perspective.
