Math GED Resources

This is where to learn the basic math concepts that are covered on the Math Reasoning GED test and are the basic math skills that any high school graduate is expected to know by the time he or she leaves high school.  The GED Math reasoning test has between 35-45 questions and 5 or 6 of them will need to be done without a calculator.  The scoring is not 1 for 1.  You need to score 145 to pass the Math Reasoning Section and  get a basic certificate, 165-175 gives you a college ready certificate, and 176 – 200 could give you some college credit and/or advanced placement.  You have 1 hour and 55 minutes to take the test with a break between the non calculator and calculator sections to get your calculator. The only calculator that is allowed is the TI-30XS

GED Math Practice Tests

You can use a calculator with the test above – 39 questions

No  calculator with this test – 20 questions

Take the practice tests as soon as you can. They will give you a good look at what the test will cover. Don't worry about doing it perfectly, rather get a sence of how the questions will be worded and what they will cover. Don't have either the calculator or the non calculator test scored until you have finished it. Then you can get a look at where your mistakes were and there are videos to go over how to do each question if you are having difficulty.

We try to get you good information that will prepare you to take the GED Math Test or Help you learn the basic Math Skills that that test covers. Your Job is to PRACTICE!

Presented below are links to various resources.   Timeline uses the material from Effortless Math and breaks the material down into Subtopics which span the first 2 columns.  These Subtopics are the same (with a few variations) as the first information that I sent to you in PDF form (Remi) or had delivered to you in written form (Derek).   

The  TImeline starts with FRACTIONS and moves through the topics in somewhat the same order as they would be presented in school.  Almost every line in the  Timeline goes to the same or a similar worksheet  like the ones I sent to you at the beginning for this project.  There are also videos attached to  those worksheet pages since the links go to the actual Effortless Math site.  You don’t need to view the videos to do the work on the worksheets or see the written instructions.    I have attached some extra videos to some of the Timeline subtopics.  These videos are from GetSumMath and are better videos. 

The third Column titled GetSumMath goes to an excellent site that gives practice problems for you to work on but the order of presentation is alphabetical and covers the same material but the order is out of sequence from the way you would get it at school.  There are videos attached to each work area if you need more information about how to handle a particular topic.  THESE VIDEOS ARE BETTER than most and add a great deal in terms of how to do the  problems faster and with less math and more logic or with good instruction about how to set things up.

This presenter is a bit messy in his presentation I like GetSumMath much better.  However, he is a second set of complete problems that he works over 3 hour time.  You can listen at 1.5 and his explanations are clear and easy to follow.  There are three videos below that cover all topics on the official GED study guide including an explanation of the problems given on the official study guide.  He does however have a real problem with his handwritting and keeping things neat and easy to follow,  Better guy is over at GetSumMath.
