Assessment Targets (Content Guidelines) Are Available! Here are the content topics (for the full list that includes subtopics, see the GED 2014 Assessment Guide at gedtestingservice.com or go to Q.1 Apply number sense concepts, including ordering rational numbers, absolute value, multiples, factors and exponents Q.2 Add, subtract, multiply. divide, and use exponents and roots of rational, fraction and decimal numbers Q.3 Calculate and use ratios, percentages and scale factors Q.4 Calculate dimensions, perimeter, circumference, and area of two-dimensional figures Q.5 Calculate dimensions, surface area, and volume of three-dimensional figures Q.6 Interpret and create data displays Q.7 Calculate and use mean, median, mode and weighted average Q.8 Utilize counting techniques and determine probabilities A.1 Write, evaluate, and compute with expressions and polynomials A.2 Write, manipulate, and solve linear equations A.3 Write, manipulate, solve, and graph linear inequalities A.4 Write, manipulate, and solve quadratic equations A.5 Connect and interpret graphs and functions A.6 Connect coordinates, lines, and equations A.7 Compare, represent, and evaluate functions Some Thoughts about Math: 1. There is a new focus on algebra. It is 55% of GED 2014. The reason: algebra is a gatekeeper skill for postsecondary success! 2. There is a focus on application, specifically problem solving in real world situations. Students should be comfortable with using a method for problem solving like the Polya method. 3. The new formula sheet assumes they know how to find basic area and perimeter. There is a bigger focus on surface area and volume. 4. Data analysis is very important. Students should be comfortable seeing various graphs/charts.
