Problem Solving
The Major Math Skill
By now you are aware that your GED math curriculum must teach problem-solving techniques in the areas of:
- Number Operations and Number Sense
- Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability
- Algebra, Patterns, and Functions
- Measurement and Geometry
Remember, to be successful, your students must be effective learners. They must be able to:
- Identify problems and assess the information.
- Select an appropriate problem-solving strategy.
- Effectively solve the problem.
- Assess whether the answer is reasonable and answers the question.
The teaching of problem solving takes time. However, by teaching your students the four basic steps
and by using different types of strategies, you can assist your students in becoming successful problem
solvers in life and on the GED 2002 Mathematics Test.
Besides problem solving in each of the four math content areas, there are two other major areas of
concern to GED teachers and students - Calculators and Grid Formats.
