Outcomes
- Perform mathematical operations by solving problems using the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
- Understand and apply number concepts by demonstrating conceptual and procedural understanding of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals and calculate and record numerical data related to class demographics.
- Work with percentages, estimation, rates, and ratios by solving contextualized problems involving percentages, estimation, rates, and ratios. Apply these concepts to real-life ECE situations such as tuition, staff salaries, classroom materials, and licensing guidelines.
- Use integers in problem solving by formulating and solving problems using integers and basic operations.
- Apply algebraic thinking through the use of models, properties, relationships, patterns, and data to create and interpret algebraic functions, including linear regression, for financial planning and budgeting in ECE settings.
- Solve real-world problems involving perimeter, area, surface area, and volume, such as designing classroom or facility layouts.
- Understand and use interest formulas by applying simple and compound interest formulas to make informed decisions when budgeting for a new school year or major purchases
