Applied Math is a course intended to complement the regular classroom math experience by pushing students beyond the curriculum and helping them develop their love for math.  Students will demonstrate their learning  through applications of math, real world math, and project based learning.  

Have you ever wondered how an architect designs a skyscraper, how a video game 

programmer calculates a character's jump, or how a chef scales a recipe for a crowd?  

In Applied Math, we step out of the workbook and into the real world. This course 

bridges the gap between "solving for x" and solving the problems we face every day.

What We’ll Investigate:

Geometry and Right Angle Trigonometry

Problem Solving and Data Analysis

Probability and Statistics

Financial Literacy

Computer Science and Programming

Other Topics to be Determined

Why This Class is a Game-Changer:

Middle school is the perfect time to build "math confidence." By showing students that math 

is a tool for creativity, building, and independence, we remove the "math anxiety" that 

often starts at this age.  Students aren't just memorizing formulas; they are learning 

to think like engineers, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers.
