[color=#c51414][b]G[/b]eneral [b]E[/b]ducational [b]D[/b]evelopment[/color] (GED) tests are a group of four subject tests which, when passed, certify that the test taker has American or Canadian high school-level academic skills. Here are some topics which can assist students in learning the mathematics covered on the GED/HiSET/TASC/GCSE [color=#c51414][b]G[/b]eneral [b]C[/b]ertificate of [b]S[/b]econdary [b]E[/b]ducation[/color].

Isle of Natural Sciences

The Natural Sciences consist of Biology (Life), Chemistry and Physics (Physical)), and Earth and Space Science[br][br][b]Scientific Method [/b]– the manner in which we study the interactions around humans and their surroundings. This topic in considered in all of the following area and on its own. (Critical to know!)[br][b]Life Science[/b]– the science of life as we know it. (40%)[b][br]Physical Science[/b] – the science of matter and energy and interactions between the two. (40%)[br][b]Earth and Space Science[/b] – The study of the planet Earth and the Space surrounding Earth. (20%)
The Scientific Method (8:38 minutes)[br]One of many YouTube videos explaining the most important element of scientific explanations of how humans see things around them.
What is Life Science? (7:14 minutes)
What is Physical Science? (11:02 minutes)
What is Earth Science? (3:41 minutes)

Bacteria Growth

Experiment with changing the bacteria type and running the animation.
Bacteria Growth
For each colour can you;[br][br]1. Sketch a graph of the number of bacterium against time.[br]2. Write an equation linking the number of bacterium to time?[br]3. Predict how many bacterium you would have after 28 days? [br][br]Use the right hand panel to check your sketches and equations by typing them into the input bar.

Math Skills Needed

Mean, Median, Mode, and Range Graphs and Charts

  • 1. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range
  • 2. Bar Charts and Pie Charts
  • 3. Interpreting Bar Graphs
  • 4. Tables, Graphs, and Linear Equations
  • 5. Bar Graphs
  • 6. Creating Double Line Graphs

Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

[b][u]Data Analysis[/u][/b] means being able to find the following measures of central tendency: [b]mean[/b], [b]median[/b], [b]mode[/b], and [b]range[/b]. The mode is written as a list of elements separated by a comma. When there is [b][u]no mode[/u][/b], click on the [b]No Mode[/b] check box below the mode value entry.[br][br]Many call the [b]mean[/b], the [i][u]average[/u][/i]. But there is more than just one value used to persuade people to their side; these are the [b]mode[/b], [b]median[/b], and [b]range[/b].
Definitions
[b]mean:[/b] add all values is set and divide by the number of values[br][b]median:[/b] the number in the middle of the sort list of values; when there is an even number the median is the average of the two middle numbers[br][b]mode:[/b] the most common value in the set; sometimes there is no value or multiple different common values {[b]M[/b]ost [b]O[/b]ften [b]D[/b]ata [b]E[/b]ntered}; Mode answers must be inside of { } for None, {#} for a single mode, {#,#,...} for multiple mode answers.[br][b]range:[/b] the difference of the largest and smallest values
