Explorations in Mathematics A
This is the first of two courses that comprise Explorations in Mathematics. This course is designed to provide the student with a solid mathematics foundation. The student will explore properties of rational numbers including divisibility patterns, prime factorization, greatest common factor, and least common multiple. The student will add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers. Then, the student will identify and solve expressions and equations using variables. Finally, the student will use properties, including the Associative Property, Commutative Property, and Distributive Property, to solve and simplify equations.
