Texas Advanced Quantitative Reasoning (Apex)

Texas Advanced Quantitative Reasoning is a fourth year math course that tasks students with the development of mathematical skills that are necessary for success in college, career, and in life.

Topics in this course include solving geometric problems; describing and modeling data; statistics and probability with applications; matrices; real world algorithmic exercises; and financial mathematics.

This two-semester course supports students as they develop computational fluency, deepen conceptual understanding, and apply mathematical practice skills. Students discover new concepts through guided instruction and confirm their understanding in an interactive, feedback-rich environment.

A variety of activities allow for students to think mathematically in a variety of scenarios. In Discussions, students exchange and explain their mathematical ideas. Modeling activities ask them to analyze real-world scenarios and mathematical concepts. Journaling activities have students reason abstractly and quantitatively, construct arguments, critique reasoning, and communicate precisely.

This course is aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards for mathematics.

This updated course was originally created for Apex Courses and is now available in Courseware.
