The Sharon Academy

The goal of this class is to acquaint students with math that they can use in their daily lives. Topics will include: logic, statistics, systems of measurement, map and compass work and the fundamentals of economics. We will work daily to increase student's number sense and develop an appreciation for the prevalence of math in our fast paced technological society. Students will read the book How to Lie with Statistics and will learn to use spreadsheet applications. In addition to the standard array of quizzes, tests and skill drills, students will also write short papers, engage in group work and present their findings to their classmates.
