We have a new high school math course. This is a half-credit course. The focus is consumer math, but also covers many practical, real-world math applications. You can find it at the end of the course list in the Math block on My EP.
Although the course is mainly based on online textbooks, there are some fun extras mixed in. They will spend one lesson playing a game as an Uber driver, trying to actually get the bills paid. In another lesson they will run a magic show and try to make a profit as they work to make it to Vegas. There are some mini-units on cryptocurrency, economics, philanthropy and more.
This is intended for high school. The daily lessons are expected to take 40 minutes on average. There is a note a couple of weeks into the course about how to adapt lessons if they are taking longer than an hour. This is a new course, so we’d be happy for feedback on the experience.
Check out the course. There is no offline version of the course at this time.
In other news, as of yesterday I have three adult children! He was born on Mother’s Day 18 years ago. I still have three being homeschooled, ages 10 – 15.
I’m trying to figure out how to add consumer math, math applications, and intermediate reading to my son’s courses, but I just cannot figure it out. Please help!!!
Intermediate Reading is in the reading course block. The two math courses are both in the math block. You can go to the extras page to add a second math block, but I would recommend doing one math course start to finish, then moving on to the other one.
To change the course within the block, use the “previous course” and “next course” buttons. https://allinonehomeschool.com/choosing-classes/
