The Consumer Math of Medical Costs:  Classification:  MA

This course is intended to provide students with experience in the kinds of mathematical skills they will encounter when making decisions as adults. When it comes to medical costs, some are voluntary, and many are not. A goal should be to make this subject relevant to students and provide opportunities to apply the concepts in practical applications BEFORE they are forced to apply them on their own. During this course, it will be helpful to reveal the family medical costs over the past few years. This course has a companion course in this volume entitled, “Consumer Math, Everyday Applications,” which we suggest you do BEFORE doing this one.
