GED 033 - CAP GED Skill Building Math Credits: 1-11 LEC hours per week: 9 LAB hours per week: 4 Students will read write and interpret basic mathematical information using whole numbers, fractions benchmark percents and decimals Students will be introduced to basic patterns, data, algebraic concepts, measurement, geometry and computational skills to solve 1-2 step contextualized real life problems. Course Outcomes:
- Read, write, compare, and estimate whole numbers to the millions and decimals to the’hundredths.
- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers and solve 1-2 step contextualized word problems.
- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals and money, and apply to 1-2 step contextualized word problems.
- Read, write, and compare benchmark fractions. Use mixed; improper, and equivalent fractions. Add and subtract fractions with like and unlike denominators. Multiply and divide fractions. Apply these to real life applications.
- Read and interpret basic pictographs and bar, line, and circle graphs, and communicate results in writing.
- Use basic data and statistics including mean, mode, median, and range.
- Identify algebraic concepts including negative and positive numbers, order of operations, and evaluate 1-step equations in a contextualized setting’
- Accurate measure using both the standard and metric system, and make simple conversions within and between systems as applicable to contextualized themes.
- Use geometric concepts including lines, area, perimeter, volume, and coordinate geometry in a contextualized setting.
- Use the basic functions of a 4-function calculator, and determine degree of precision needed to solve problems.
- Take responsibility for own learning to progress through the learning process, apply oneself effectively to the study of math, and utilize campus resources for additional support in math.
