The Core Area Exemplary Educational objectives covered in this course are: 1. To apply arithmetic, algebraic, geometric, higher-order thinking and statistical methods to modeling and solving real-world situations. 2. To represent and evaluate basic mathematical information verbally, numerically, graphically, and symbolically. 3. To expand mathematical reasoning skills and formal logic to develop convincing mathematical arguments. 4. 5. To use appropriate technology to enhance mathematical thinking and understanding and to solve mathematical problems and judge the reasonableness of the results. 6. To interpret mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables and schematics, and draw inferences from them 7. To recognize the limitations of mathematical and statistical models. 8. To develop the view that mathematics is an evolving discipline, interrelated with human culture, and understanding its connections to other disciplines.
