Let’s explore the world using math! This class will focus on introducing students to Algebra using real-life examples. As mathematicians, we will model the world using stories, pictures, graphs, equations, and variables. We will also see how math can be used as a tool to understand other subjects, and we will finally answer every math student’s question: “When am I ever going to use this?” Math can seem intimidating but have no fear; in this class, we’ll approach it with fun and curiosity.
