Consumer Math reinforces general math topics (such as arithmetic using rational numbers, measurement, ratio and proportion, and basic statistics) and applies these skills to consumer problems and situations. Applications typically include budgeting, taxation, credit, banking services, insurance, buying and selling products and services, home and/or car ownership and rental, managing personal income, and investment.

This course covers a broad range of mathematics that a person would

encounter in their daily life. Topics include statistical interpretation, data visualization,

probability, growth models, finance, politics and voting, logic and sets, and the intersection of

mathematics and the arts. Throughout, appropriate use of mathematical technology will be

emphasized.
