ABE 032 ABE Low Intermediate Basic Education - Math 3 (1 to 6 credits
Course Description
Designed for students to learn whole numbers, decimals, percents, fractions, and real-life and workplace application of these operations.
Course Content
1. Washington State Adult Learning Standards – ABE/GED
> To use math to problem solve
a. Understand, interpret, and work with pictures, numbers, and symbolic information.
b. Apply knowledge of mathematical concepts and procedures to figure out how to answer a question, solve a problem, make a prediction, or carry out a task that as a mathematical dimension.
c. Define and select data to be used in solving the problem.
d. Determine the degree of precision required by the situation.
e. Solve problems using appropriate quantitative procedures and verify that the results are reasonable.
f. Communicate results using a variety of mathematical representations, including graphs, charts, tables, and algebraic models.
2. Goal Setting
Student Outcomes
1. Mathematics
M3.1 Read, write, and interpret some common types of mathematical information such as
Numbers and number sense: whole numbers, monetary values and prices, benchmark fractions (3/4, 1/10), decimals (.25, .50, .75, .10) and percents (25%, 75%, 10%, 100%).
Patterns/Functions/Relationships: simple patterns, probability and proportions (1:4, 4:1); simple decimal/fraction conversions and equivalents.
Space/Shape/Measurement: commonly used standard units of measurement, common geometric shapes, and the concept of “area”.
Data/Statistics: simple ways to interpret and represent data (tables, bar graphs with and without gridlines, line graphs and pie graphs).
M3.2 Recall and use mathematic procedures such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on whole numbers, benchmark decimals and fractions (with or without use of calculator), grouping, comparing 2 numbers, and basic estimating; and measure length, weight, and areas of standard and non-standard shapes using tools calibrated with whole numbers and benchmark fraction and decimal equivalents (rulers, manipulatives).
M3.3 Evaluate the degree of precision needed for the solution.
M3.4 Define, select, and organize simple data, and measure with appropriate tools, describe patterns, and/or use computational procedures effectively to solve a problem and to verify that the solution is reasonable.
M3.5 Communicate the solution to the problem orally, in pictures, or in writing.
