WEN November 2011 The total weight of two beluga whales and three orca whales is 36,000 pounds. The weight of each whale could be determined with just one additional fact. The Liberal Arts Math course provides all the math tools needed to answer this weighty question. The setting for this course is an amusement park with animals, rides, and games. The students??? job is to apply what they learn to dozens of real-world scenarios. . Equations, geometric relationships, and statistical probabilities can sometimes be dull, but not in this class! The park guide (teacher) takes each student on a grand tour of problems and puzzles that show how things work and how mathematics provides valuable tools for everyday living. Students should come ready to reinforce and grow their existing algebra and geometry skills to learn complex algebraic and geometric concepts they will need needed for further study of mathematics.
