Agradecería cualquier ayuda.

Transitional Mathematics (TransMath)
Explanation:
Given the additional context, my guess is that it means "Transitional Mathematics".

http://www.aps.edu/aps/SpecialEd/Documents/transmathoverview...
Through its unique approach and effective teaching
methods, TransMath systematically tears down
roadblocks that prevent students from progressing
to higher mathematics.

TransMath


Explanation:
Por lo que se percibe, pudiera tratarse de los resultados de un estudiante en una escuela donde se lleva la currícula de TransMath.

matemática trans


Explanation:

Como todos sabemos, existe la matemática "transitiva" que es la que profesa que si A es igual a B y B es igual a C, entonces A es igual a C. De todas maneras dudo que exista una materia que trate exclusivamente de esa propiedad. ¿Por qué no lo traducís literalmente? El prefijo "trans" también existe en castellano, y de esa manera no corrés el riesgo de inventarte una nueva materia para la currícula (sonrisa). Yo lo dejaría como "Matemática Trans", sea lo que sea lo que han querido indicar con eso. Saludos y espero que te sirva.

Diego.

Investigué un poco más y al parecer se trata de un método para acelarar el aprendizaje de chicos con bajo rendimiento en matemáticas. Creo que podrías traducirlo como APOYO DE MATEMÁTICA, pero es un poquito arriesgado porque pueden decirte que no se trata de un simple apoyo sino de toda una nueva técnica o método de enseñanza. Sigo sosteniendo que "matemática trans" es lo más seguro, pero si te querés arriesgar un poco más creo que "apoyo de matemática" no estaría mal: a fin de cuentas no es mucho más que eso.

matemáticas transaccionales/comerciales


Explanation:
"Trans Math" es una marca que dudo que se haya tomado como parte de una carga de materias en la escuela secundaria. Lo que sí es parte de muchas escuelas en México la clase de matemáticas comerciales o transaccionales. Incluso a nivel universitario o profesional se maneja el cálculo mercantil. Otro concepto muy moderno, que no se ha generalizado mucho es el de las Matemáticas Transicionales.

Asker: Gracias Taña! Dado que se trata de una materia me inclinaría más por Transitional Mathematics. Además se trata de un "struggling student" así que creo que coincide con el contexto. Es un alumno de 8vo grado y no puedo darte el nombre de la escuela. Saludos!
