Math In The Workplace
Series
Practical, competency-based, real world occupationally related
applications of mathematics. Presents math problems in the
following topics: agriculture and agribusiness, the building
trades, business and marketing, health occupations, home economics,
and industrial technology. Students may choose the area that
interests them most.
USING GRAPHS, CHARTS,
AND TABLES
Students read and interpret pictographs, vertical and horizontal
bar graphs, line graphs, and pie charts. They also create
vertical and horizontal bar graphs, line graphs, and pie
charts on the computer from tables of data.
Skills:
- Identify five different kinds of graphs (pictographs,
vertical bar graphs, horizontal bar graphs, line graphs,
and circle graphs)
- Read five different kinds of graphs
- Interpret and compare two sets of data from double-bar
and line graphs
- Create horizontal and vertical bar graphs, line graphs,
and pie charts from tables of data
- Select the appropriate type of graph to represent different
situations
Special Features:
- Automatic management tracks student progress and scores
- On-screen help
- Immediate feedback
MEASURING IN TRADITIONAL AND
METRIC UNITS
This program familiarizes students with metric and English
equivalents and provides them with the experience of using
units of linear, square, cubic and liquid measurement, as
well as units of mass and weight.
Skills:
- Identify units of metric measurement to use for capacity
(liter), weight (gram), and distance (meter)
- Identify metric prefixes (milli, centi, deci, deca,
hecto, kilo) and their values
- Convert metric measurements into larger or smaller metric
units
- Identify which units of traditional measurement to use
for capacity, weight, and distance
- Convert traditional measurements into larger or smaller
traditional units
Special Features:
- Automatic management tracks student progress and scores
- On-screen help
- Immediate feedback
WORKING WITH LINES AND ANGLES
This program develops skills working with intersection,
parallel and perpendicular lines, circles and parts of circles,
and angles. Reinforces skills at using a protractor.
Skills:
- Identify and define four types of angles (acute, obtuse,
right, and straight)
- Estimate the size of angles
- Identify and define parallel and perpendicular lines
- accurately measure angles using a protractor
Special Features:
- Automatic management tracks student progress and scores
- On-screen help
- Immediate feedback
