Learning Outcomes: Perform difficult mental calculations and estimations with a strong intuitive sense of number relationships, scale and magnitude Interpret and analyze complex units and how they relate to problem solving, and understand and convert common units in English and metric systems Apply a variety of mathematical concepts in real-world contexts, including extract data from complex information sources and graphs, analyze and predict from data, perform financial calculations including interest, create business invoices, etc. Solve complex problems, including plan solutions to complex multi-step problems and perform operations using multiple logical operators Extract relevant information from complex texts, proofread work for grammatical mistakes, perform inferences in complex text, and construct hierarchies of information. extract relevant information from complex contexts, and proofread work for grammatical mistakes, perform inferences in complex text, construct hierarchies of information General Topics: • Conversion and comparison of fractions, decimals and percents, including reducing fractions • Number lines and decimals, including 10ths, 100ths, and 1000ths • Mental arithmetic that spans a large range of scale, from hundredths to millions • Estimation • Advanced operations with percents, including complements and ratios • English and metric length, weight and volume units, and conversions between units • Unit requirements, complex units, and rates • Rulers and meters and interpolation • Business mathematics, including invoices, taxes and discounts, revenue, expenses, profit, etc. • Time calculations, including differences between times, schedules • Calculation of averages and use for predictions • Areas and perimeters of complex shapes, including deconstructing complex figures to calculate areas • Person-hours and advanced unit calculations • Rounding, including when to round up, round down, and round to nearest • Interpretation of graphical information (such as maxima, minima, equivalence, trends, and more) • Comparing and predicting from complex information sources such as tables, graphs, and diagrams • Calculation of error rates from production data, and use of these to predict future performance • Financial calculations, including compound interest, predictions, and comparing financial products • Problem solving strategies, including working forwards or backwards through problems, chunking, sequencing, etc. • Determination of relevant information for answering particular questions, and to communicate about problems • Logical operation, including missing information, and determining whether there is sufficient information. • Grammatical errors and proofreading paragraphs for grammatical mistakes • Information extraction from complex text, including inferences and connecting information, scanning, and hierarchical structures of text and information in tables, graphs, and chapter titles and headings Instruction & Assessment Section 4 Content Section 4 Content Left Section 4 Content Right Instructional Strategies: Computer Based Training Methods of Assessment: Other mastery assessment model Minimum Passing Score: 100% Supplemental Materials Section 5 Content Section 5 Content Left Section 5 Content Right Section 6 Content Section 6 Content Left Section 6 Content Right Button Content Rail Content 1 Other offerings from SeeMore Impact Labs The CSM Course (CSML-0001) View All Courses Page Content
