  • applying mathematical processes to accomplish job-specific tasks (e.g., estimating required supplies, completing expense reports)
  • managing personal finance (e.g., understanding wage rates, paycheck deductions, taxes, sales receipts).

Process/Skill Questions: 

  • What mathematical skills are required to attain an entry-level job in a specific field? What mathematical skills are required for higher-level jobs within that field?
  • What resources are available to assist in the improvement of mathematical skills?
  • Why are mathematical skills considered communication skills?
