Advanced Mathematical Decision Making AMDM stands for Advanced Mathematical Decision Making, which is a new course adopted by the state of Georgia to enable seniors to gain a Math 4 credit. AMDM sets out to answer the question "When will I use this?" In this course, students will be taking knowledge learned in their three previous years of math and applying it to real world scenarios. A majority of the concepts used in AMDM have been learned previously, but there will still be some concepts that are unfamiliar. Most of the content is taught in a "hands-on" manner. Students will be completing many mini and major projects throughout this course. Students are expected to actively participate in their groups and present to the class. Topics include graphing, personal finance, estimation, data and statistics, research applications, and geometry. Pre-requisites: Algebra II Grade Levels: 11-12 Quality Points: 0.0
