| At the Grand River Technical School, math instruction is provided for both high school and post-high students. Technical Math I and Technical Math II are nine-month classes for high school juniors and seniors. Technical Math I reviews skills required on employment and certification tests. Technical Math II presents more college preparatory math with some review of the basics. These classes incorporate a variety of career and vocation problems since the students are not separated by their vocation
choice.

Post-high math classes concentrate on problems from the student’s choice of vocation. Post-high students attend math class for six weeks during the first semester. Post-high students take a computer class during second semester for 7 weeks. During the computer class, students complete a resume, cover letter, and reference sheet. Students that did not take a computer applications class in high school learn the basics about email, internet use, and Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint.
