MTH-2101-3 – Algebraic Modelling
Algebraic Modelling is the third in a series of four Mathematics courses designed for the Common Core Basic Education (CCBE) program at the Secondary level. This course contains six learning situations in which learners solve situational problems by producing algebraic models for real-life situations. Learners also solve situational problems by using geometric formulas to calculate perimeters, areas and volumes. In addition, they are given an opportunity to interpret, produce and solve situational problems involving equations with one unknown variable.
