peer agreement (net): -1| matemáticas a y b MSS / AM Explanation: You are right, Math A for social sciences (easy) B for sciences little more difficult. 1) ...Coming from the social sciences, MSS is for students interested in Anthropology, Economics, Education, Geography, History, Political Science, or Sociology as a quantitative social science... 2) Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields... May be valid: Mathematics and Mathematics for Social science. ...amic worksheets with math questions suitable for grades 4-8, and later... Opinion.

| matemáticas a y b Liberal Arts Mathematics // Precalculus and trigonometry Explanation: Yes, you have the A and B options correct: "Las matemáticas B, tienen un carácter más formal que las A y están enfocadas para los alumnos que van a cursar en Bachillerato Matemáticas, tanto Matemáticas I como Matemáticas aplicadas a Ciencias Sociales. Hay que señalar que en Bachillerato debes cursar obligatoriamente Matemáticas I en el Bachillerato de Ciencias y Tecnología y, Matemáticas aplicadas a Ciencias Sociales I o Latín, en el de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades. Las matemáticas A tienen un carácter más práctico, enfocadas para alumnos que no van a seguir cursando matemáticas. Por ello, no dan la formación adecuada para cursar esta materia en cualquiera de las modalidades de bachillerato, aunque no lo impiden." From http://www.iessanjuanbosco.es/index.php/es/oferta-educativa/... Also, see http://iesgarciamorato.org/Dep_Matematicas/mat_4eso.html, which clearly lays out the content in each course. At least in the US, we don't have exact parallels to these courses. These are my best guesses for finding high-school level courses with the same content, which I did in comparison to the second link provided above: Matemáticas A: Liberal Arts Mathematics See http://www.flvs.net/areas/flvscourses/Pages/Course Catalog/C... Content includes inequalities, systems of inequalities and equations, functions and basic graphs. (It doesn't include the trigonometry or arithmetic/geometric progressions. Anyone have a better equivalent?) For matemáticas B, this looks like a blend between algebra 2 and precalculus. This does exist as a high school course. See www.nacs.k12.in.us/Content/Article/1274/1274.pdf Can any colleagues suggest any closer secondary school equivalents in other English-speaking countries? |

peer agreement (net): +2Basic / Advanced Mathematics Explanation: I would not put in the specifics unless you are sure that e.g. trigonometry, geometry, algebra, etc. are included. With a generic listing, you are not required to give the prospectus of the course. |
