GED Math Syllabus

We will cover the following Math Topics in Kim's Tuesday/Thursday night class:

• Prime Numbers, Integers, Absolute Value, Order of Operations
• Decimal operations: Add, subtract, multiply, divide
• Fractions: Add, subtract, multiply, divide, simplify, improper fractions
• Scientific Notation
• Ratios and Proportions
• Percents
• Converting Fractions, Decimals and Percents
• Statistics: mean, median, mode
• Probability
• Geometry: Angles, shapes, perimeter, area, surface area, volume, Pythagorean Theorem
• Algebra: Expressions, Equations, Inequalities, functions, coordinate plane, slope, slope-intercept
• Interest
• Distance, rate and time formula

Below are links to topics that we will be learning. This page is a work in progress! I will be adding more topics and links as the class progresses.

Prime Numbers

What is the difference between prime and composite numbers?

Decimal Operations

"To add and subtract, line it up exact. To multiply and divide, just count and slide!"

Exponent Rules

With a little practice, these rules will seem easy!

Pythagorean Theorem

Just kidding. If you are given any 2 side lengths of a right triangle, all you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side.

Graphing

Slope is the steepness of a line. The slope of any line is just a ratio comparing the "rise", or vertical change over the "run" or horizontal change.


This slope tree helps us remember that positive slopes go uphill, negative slopes head downhill, a horizontal line has "no slope", and vertical lines have what are called "undefined slopes".
