Description
Your students already know how to work with fractions, decimals, percents, and a calculator. Now get them to the next level. Give them these problem sets to help them pass the GED or HiSET Math tests in 6 to 9 weeks.
Use These Problem Sets To:
- Have students work through up to 9 weeks of problem sets in class, for 3 to 6 hours per week.
- Teach a variety math topics that are key for college and career readiness, and for passing the GED/HiSET math tests, including: word problems, expressions, equations, inequalities, probability, data, mean, median, integers, graphing, geometry, lines, exponents, and roots.
- Present questions that are relevant to adults and their lives.
- Introduce math topics with scaffolded instruction, where problems require regular review of past topics and regular integration of new topics.
- Facilitate small group work, active learning, and problem-based learning. The problem sets challenge students to communicate when they don't know a topic.
Target Level of Math Class:
- An adult education math class for passing the GED/HiSET Math test,
- Lasting 6 to 9 weeks for approximately 3 to 6 hours per week,
- For 8 to 30 students with a diverse math and English background,
- Who have already learned basic math operations, decimals, fractions, percents, exponents, and square roots to some degree, even if they are not yet completely proficient,
- Who have access to and are allowed to use calculators.
- For completion in groups in person, with students actively sharing solutions with their groups and the whole class, alongside questions and discussion.
Options for How to Use This File:
- Print a problem set weekly, and distribute to each student, as they work in groups on their own notebooks and papers.
- Print the solutions weekly, for your reference as students work, so you can discuss problem-solving strategies with them.
- Refer to solutions only when students present their solutions or their ideas to the rest of the class, for comparison.
- Assign problem sets for homework.
- Print a booklet for students to refer to on their own.
- Integrate these problems into your own curriculum.

CCSS6.G.A.3
Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS8.G.C.9
Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
CCSS6.SP.A.1
Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
