Would like to know about consumer math in Grade 10
I am currently in grade 9 and next year we get a choice of one or two math classes out of 3. Since I was very good at math I am thinking of taking IB Precalc and Applied. What I hate though is that we only get to choose 2 classes and there is also consumer math on the list. I will not take it because its basic but its basic stuff I need to know! Anyways does anyone know a website that contains all the information on grade 10 consumer math? I really want to take the other 2 classes but I also want to know about consumer math.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
We have consumer math here, it's called Applications of Math 10.
Honey, don't bother taking this course.
Applications/Consumer math is for people who have no sense of math (fractions, graphs et cetera) and just need to be taught basic mathematics (and be able to graduate).
We call it "stupid" math here. It's just an excuse for a person (such as me) who isn't any good at math, to get a graduating Math 10 credit. Since you're good at Math, stick to the advanced placement Mathematics.
The stuff they teach us in Applications is dummy math. Taxes and balancing a checkbook are simple arithmetics and any idiot could figure it out. The teachers are just easy going and let you do whatever they want. I spent half of the course playing poker.
This website has some information on the Consumer Math that they offer:

Note that they make it a point to inform you that this course is not for college bound students.
As one of my friends is saying as I type:
"Consumer Math is just addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and stuff.
A Basic calculator or a 2nd grader can do that."
