This course will help you become more skilled at calculating with whole  numbers, fractions, decimals and also help you understand why we do calculations in a certain way.  We’ll also work on how and when to round and estimate, and we’ll use order of operations to  perform more complex calculations. We’ll practice our calculation skills by exploring problems  involving ratios, proportions, percent, measurement, and basic geometry. Along the way, we’ll  develop strategies for problem solving and practice study habits that lead to success.
