Credits: 1-11
LEC hours per week: 9
LAB hours per week: 4
The focus of instruction in this course is to strengthen mathematics, problem solving, employment, and computational skills to successfully complete the official Mathematics GED, and individual career and academic goals.
Course Outcomes:
  • Read, write, compare, and estimate whole numbers to the billions and decimals to the thousandths using real life examples.
  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers and solve multi-step contextualized word problems.
  • Read, write, and compare benchmark fractions. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions, and apply to real life applications.
  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals, including money, and apply to multi-step word problems.
  • Convert fractions to decimals and percents, and use percents in a contextualized setting including tax, tip, interest, banking, paychecks, commission, and percent change.
  • Read and interpret bar, line, and circle graphs, and communicate results in writing.
  • Use data and statistics including mean, median, mode, and range in contextualized setting.
  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide negative and positive numbers, using correct order of operations. Evaluate one- and two-step equations and use simple algebraic formulas such as interest, distance, volume, and circumference.
  • Accurately measure using both the stand and metric systems, and make simple conversion within and between systems as applicable to contextualized themes.
  • Use ratio and proportions and apply to problem solving.
  • Apply geometric concepts including lines, area perimeter, volume, polygons, and circles to contextualize Problem solving.

  • Create linear graphs given an equation or data points.
  • Interpret the concept of slope both graphically and symbolically.
  • Find slopes given graphs, equations, or data points.
  • Interpret data using mean, median, mode, and range in contextualized situations.
  • Solve arithmetic and algebraic ratio and percentage multi-step word problems.
  • Use algebraic formulas to solve geometric word problems: area, perimeter, volume, surface area, and circumference.
  • Apply geometric concepts of lines, angles, polygons, triangles, Pythagorean Theorem, and circles to real life applications.
  • Use a scientific calculator appropriately.
