Course Description
Designed for students to learn and/or review advanced math skills in preparation for passing of the GED exam.
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
M6.1 Read, write, and interpret a wide variety of (often) complex mathematical information such as Numbers and number sense: money/expenses/pricing. Patterns/Functions/Relationships: formulas for a variety of calculations. Space/Shape/Measurement: architectural symbols/ models and scale modeling. Data/Statistics: ways to interpret, represent, identify trends in or draw inferences from data (complex tables and graphs; advanced forms of statistical analysis; graphing equations and generating equations from data and/or line graphs; using concept of slope).
M6.2 Research, select and apply sophisticated, multi-step mathematical concepts and procedures (such as scale modeling, cost analysis, earnings/deductions analysis).
M6.3 Evaluate the degree of precision needed for the solution
M6.4 Independently research, select, organize and integrate mathematical information of different types in carrying out procedures, describing patterns, and/or measuring with appropriate tools, to solve the problem and to verify that the solution in reasonable.
M6.5 Create appropriate visual or graphic representations such as charts, tables, graphs, etc. and clearly communicate the solution process and results orally or in writing to a variety of audiences.
2. Goal Setting
