Advanced Mathematical Decision Making (AMDM) is a mathematics course that follows Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. The course emphasizes statistics and financial applications, and it prepares students to use algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and discrete mathematics to model a range of situations and solve problems.
The proposed student expectations for AMDM were revised December 1, 2009. Click here for the revised expectations.
