Contemporary Math

These lessons in mathematics include recognizing patterns, estimating, exploring sets and portraying them. There are problems that use adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions and the use of the order of operations. We continue to explore problems involving different numeric systems such as Roman and binary (base 2) numbers. As the quantities increase or decrease greatly, we use scientific notation to handle values to large for the modern calculator.

We broaden our horizons with measuring exercises, creating graphs and Venn diagrams. As the topic of contemporary math broadens, we will examine real world applications on this page or point to other web pages specifically on Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus.
