Advanced Skillbuilder Math 3
Advanced SkillBuilder: Math offers learners a chance to enhance reading skills while sharpening math reasoning. In this course, learners work with numbers found in visual data, such as charts, graphs, forms, and ads commonly used at workplaces and in daily life.
In each exercise, learners read a text, or interpret and gather numbers from visual data, determine which math operation to use, then find a solution using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or percents. This self-guided course allows learners to work at their own pace, while also providing audio support from teachers. Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to interpret and solve problems using multiple operations.
This course is in English and is suitable for English speakers or English Language Learners with strong listening and reading ability.
Competencies for this course are based on CASAS.
