BPCC Open Campus - Math 097: Basic Mathematics is a review of basic mathematics skills. Here's what's covered: -fundamental numeral operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals -ratio and proportion -percent -systems of measurement -an introduction to geometry NOTE: Open Campus courses are non-credit reviews and tutorials and cannot be used to satisfy requirements in any curriculum at BPCC.

This course is is a collection of resources on OER Commons curated for Adult Education instructors and students to show the integration of math into the Information Technology Career Sector. Students will analyze and practice specific skills related to being in IT as well as develop math skills. Modules in this curriculum guide can be studied in any particular order as one does not necessarily build upon the other. Each includes the idea of building mathematical and logic skills required for programming and other IT related careers.

This lesson teaches about Rates, Ratios, and Unit Rates, using visually appealing art and real-life examples that will engage teenagers.

In this lesson you will learn how to convert between decimal, percent and fraction; calculate percent of change; and apply percents to real-world situations.  You will be able to discuss the importance of writing numbers in different formats; how to determine a percent increase or decrease; and how percents are an integral part of daily living.StandardsCC.2.1.HS.F.2Apply properties of rational and irrational numbers to solve real world or mathematical problems.MP.1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.MP.4. Model with mathematics.MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

In this project, you will explore a real-world problem, and then work through a series of steps to analyze that problem, research ways the problem could be solved, then propose a possible solution to that problem. Often, there are no specific right or wrong solutions, but sometimes one particular solution may be better than others. The key is making sure you fully understand the problem, have researched some possible solutions, and have proposed the solution that you can support with information / evidence.Begin by reading the problem statement in Step 1. Take the time to review all the information provided in the statement, including exploring the websites, videos and / or articles that are linked. Then work on steps 2 through 8 to complete this problem-based learning experience..

In this seminar you will have a better understanding of how to identify and write ratios and proportions,understand their relationship to each other, and use them in real-world contexts.StandardsMathematical PracticeCC.2.1.HS.F.2Apply properties of rational and irrational numbers to solve real world or mathematical problems.MP.1.

In this seminar you will learn about variation.  There are two types - direct and inverse- and you will be able to identify and calculate each type.  You will also learn how to solve real-world problems involving each type of variation, to better understand the importance of variation.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.8Apply inverse operations to solve equations or formulas for a given variable.CC.2.2.HS.C.3 Write functions or sequences that model relationships between two quantities.MP.1.
