Math course work
Your original post must be at least 200 words in length. It must reference the text or course learning materials at least once. Please note that even if the question asks for an opinion, you are still expected to support opinions with references to course materials. You may use the textbook, intellipath, M.U.S.E., or any other credible academic sources to support your opinions. Do not use Internet sources other than those provided in the course materials. In the narrative, describe where information was obtained. For example, “As mentioned in Chapter 2 of the course textbook, prioritizing tasks is…” or “As mentioned in the intellipath lesson for Unit 2…”
Your two response posts must be at least 75 words in length. Responses should contribute to the conversation by being reflective, specific, and engaging. Quick responses (such as “I agree,” or “Thank you!”) will not be counted as adequate.
Your first contribution must be posted before midnight CST (Central time) on Friday of each week. You must make two additional posts on separate days, between Saturday and Tuesday, before midnight CST. The original response and the peer responses can be completed in any order.
For assistance in supporting your assignment, please use your text and all course materials, including any materials provided by the faculty member.
Assignment Details
Individuals and businesses often use math to help solve problems or to provide information when planning for future expenditures. For example, if your landlord were to let you know that there will be an 8% increase in rent when your lease renews, you could use math to determine how much more you would have to earn – or how much you would have to reduce spending on other expenses – to cover the additional cost.
Describe an example of how you have used math to solve problems and provide information when planning a purchase. Why is it important to keep track of deposits, withdrawals, payments, fees, and the current balance available for a bank account? If a person keeps track of their bank account, why would they need to prepare a reconciliation of their account against the bank statement?
In your own words, post a response to the Discussion Board, and comment on at least 2 other postings. You will be graded on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
