Understand the history of GED, high set, and the task, state requirements and costs, and how this math prep course uses units, videos, quizzes, worksheets, and answer keys.
Master the four basic operations through place value, rounding, and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing whole numbers and decimals; learn hand and calculator methods across tests.
Discover how place value assigns each digit a value by position, from ones to millions, including decimals, to reveal the meaning and size of numbers.
Identify the target place value, examine the digit to the right, and apply the rounding rule to either increase or keep the digit, turning subsequent digits to zeros. Practice rounding to nearest ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, and decimals with worked examples.
Line up the digits by place value to add and subtract whole numbers. Master carrying and borrowing as you compute sums and differences across ones, tens, and higher places.
Practice adding and subtracting decimals by aligning place values, correctly placing the decimal, and using carry and borrow strategies across tenths, hundredths, and beyond.
Master whole-number multiplication and division through memorizing the 1–12 multiplication tables, long multiplication and division, timed tests, and handling multi-digit problems with carries and remainders.
Develop skills in multiplying and dividing decimals by aligning decimal places, moving the decimal point, and solving two-digit by two-digit decimal problems with clear place-value steps.
This is the First Unit in a series of courses on High School Equivalency Math Prep. The HSE can be obtained by taking the GED, TASC, or HiSET tests depending on the state you live in. All information pertaining to the GED, TASC, HiSET, HSE can be found in the introductory video.
In this course specifically, we will be discussing Place Value, Rounding, and basic Arithmetic. You will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers as well as decimals.
By the end of the unit, you should feel comfortable with all basic arithmetic functions. You should able be able to identify different place values and write numbers from words.
