The course will study these four main ideas:

1. Algebraic Sense: Much of the universe can be modeled using algebraic symbols. Problems, patterns, and phenomena often can be addressed with the tools of algebra.

2. Proportionate Reasoning: Ratios, percents, and probabilities are useful for describing and predicting many aspects of life.

3. Geometric Sense: Geometry generalizes the physical properties of our world. The measurement of physical shapes helps us to describe and explore their properties.

4. Number Sense: The world around us can be quantified with numbers. Having a sense about the enormity and smallness of numbers helps guide our thinking.
