Applications and Modeling (AM) is a newly designed, specialized mathematics course developed to expand on and reinforce the concepts introduced in Geometry with Statistics and Algebra 1 by using those concepts to represent and analyze data and make predictions and inform judgments about real-world phenomena. Emphasis is placed on active participation through modeling, technology, activities, and communication in mathematics. Students are expected to use technology, including graphing calculators and computers. The SCCCR mathematical process standards apply throughout the course.
