This curriculum guide for business mathematics was developed to establish statewide curriculum standards for the Louisiana Competency-based Education Program. Following an overview of the secondary school mathematics curriculum, eight goals for the business mathematics course are listed. A pacing chart with suggested time periods for each major topic is given. This is followed by the curriculum outline and performance objectives for each of the eight topics: the bank, the wage earner, small business, operations of the small business, problems of small business, the manufacturer, taxes, and stocks (optional). In the next section, activities are detailed for the various topics. Evaluative techniques are briefly discussed, and an answer key is provided. (MNS)
