CRN: 7550564

Lesson 1: Mastering Mathematics: A Comprehensive Guide to the GED Exam

The GED Math examination, lasting 115 minutes, splits into a non-calculator and calculator-allowed section, emphasizing number operations to algebra. Passing necessitates a score of 150, while 170 honors you with college-level readiness; retake opportunities exist but can be state-dependent.

Lesson 2: Basic Arithmetic for GED Success

Solving word problems effectively involves translating the questions into mathematical expressions, aided by key operational indicators and visual aids like sketches. Recognizing appropriate operations and eliminating extraneous information are key steps in accurately solving word problems.

Number Sense and Order of Operations

Lesson topics include Powers, Exponents & Square Roots, and Order of Operations

Lesson 3: Number Sense and Order of Operations

Grasping number sense hinges on comprehending powers, exponents, and the order of operations to ensure precision in solving mathematical equations. Familiarity with perfect squares simplifies square root computations, while PEMDAS aids in applying the correct calculation sequence.

Lesson 4: Navigating the World of Decimals: From Place Value to Scientific Notation

Basic operations with decimals require careful alignment of decimal points for addition and subtraction. Multiplying and dividing decimals follow different rules, including shortcuts for powers of ten.

Lesson 5: Navigating the World of Fractions

Performing operations on fractions requires converting them to like terms to add or subtract and recognizing that multiplying or dividing fractions doesn't need common denominators. Simplifying fractions through these operations is crucial for achieving final answers in their simplest forms.

Lesson 6: Mastering Signed Number Operations: From Addition to Multiplication

This lesson expands on number relationships by including all real numbers, clarifying positive and negative number placement on a number line. It also covers absolute values, doubling signs, and operations like addition and multiplication of signed numbers with relevant examples.

Lesson 7: Exploring Ratios, Rates, and Proportions in Everyday Math

Ratios offer a structured approach to comparing entities, crucial in contexts such as staffing levels or pricing strategies, where simplification aids in comprehension. Proportions enable these comparisons to transcend direct calculations, facilitating intuitive solutions by maintaining equality between ratios through cross multiplication.

Lesson 8: Unraveling the World of Percents: From Basics to Problem Solving

Percents simplify the concept of comparing numbers to 100, converting easily to fractions or decimals and helping solve real-life problems like sales and taxes. Mastering these conversions enables efficient problem-solving, such as determining discounts or converting fractions to percents for word problems.

Lesson 9: Probability: What Are the Odds?

The probability of an event lies between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 signifies certainty, as seen in die roll experiments. Furthermore, dependent probability highlights situations where previous outcomes affect future probabilities, demonstrated through changing marble counts.

Lesson 10: Interpreting Data: Range and Central Tendency Simplified

Data analysis organizes information to draw conclusions through measures like mean, median, mode, and range, enhancing understanding of data sets. Visual tools like charts, tables, and graphs simplify interpretation by illustrating relationships and comparisons within data.

Lesson 11: Expressions & Equations: The Heartbeat of Algebra

In algebra, expressions involve terms and operators without equal signs, while equations match expressions with equal signs for solving variables. Evaluating involves substituting values into expressions, simplifying through order of operations, leading to solutions through isolation of variables.

Lesson 12: Units and Conversions: A Guide

Understanding measurement conversions involves using conversion factors to transition between large and small units in both the Standard and Metric systems. The Metric system simplifies conversions through its reliance on powers of ten, enabling straightforward decimal adjustments.

Lesson 13: Geometry Fundamentals: Lines, Angles, Polygons, and Beyond

Triangles offer rich avenues for exploration through similarity and the Pythagorean Theorem, both essential for calculating unknown sides and angles in various contexts. Apply these principles to practical tasks, such as estimating the tallness of a structure based on shadow comparisons.

What Others Are Saying

"Extraordinarily Helpful"

★★★★★

All of it was very helpful. It gave me the knowledge and confidence necessary for this section of the GED which, beforehand, I was very worried about. What was most helpful were the sections that most expanded on what I learned in school, particularly algebra, geometry and trigonometry.
