Course Description
Welcome to the Cunard Learning Centre's Adult Learning Program Mathematics course. Each level has been divided into different units of study, building on your prior knowledge and acquired skills. Although learners are encouraged to move at their own pace, each unit of study should take three to four weeks to complete with regular attendance and applied learning. With steady attendance and progression through the units this level of study should take an average of twenty-five to thirty weeks to complete.
Level II will cover subjects such as... whole numbers, fractions, decimals & percentages, tables & graphs, statistics & probability, basic shapes, an introduction to measurement, and developing your money management skills. We will also focus on becoming more familiar with mathematics in our everyday lives.
In Level III we will cover subjects such as... number sense, ratio & proportion, statistics, a more detailed look at the systems of measurement, geometry, algebra, as well as further development of your consumer math skills. Level III will also include a unique project connecting mathematics to your own individual career path.
Throughout each course your ability to think mathematically will improve through the time you devote to your unit work, with new vocabulary, and the development of your problem solving skills. You will also create your own personal math journal filled with discoveries, rules, hints, and examples of math concepts.
