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.
Note: In Texas, this course is called Advanced Quantitative Reasoning (AQR).
Institutes
Come to a 3-day summer institute or a follow-up session.
Student Materials and Teacher Support and Materials
- We offer professional development, including summer institutes, in Texas and in selected other states as needed. Teachers receive training and the full seven-volume set of teacher and student materials. To be added to the AMDM (outside Texas) or AQR (in Texas) email lists to find out about 2012 professional development offerings, send your contact information to amdm@austin.utexas.edu or aqr@austin.utexas.edu.
- Texas teachers can download the student materials and a comprehensive set of teacher materials for free. Texas teachers can also purchase teacher or student materials. In either case, we will ask for verification of status as a current AMDM/AQR teacher.
Process for getting access to free downloadable materials
- Teachers in other states should email us at aqr@austin.utexas.edu for information on downloading or purchasing materials, as rights to use materials are limited to teachers participating in our professional development or to teachers in states that have licenses to use the materials.
- Any teacher of AMDM or AQR can purchase membership in the online community where AMDM/AQR teachers share resources and ideas. You will be asked for verification that you are a teacher before we give you access to the community.
