Winter Session

I would like to welcome all my new students to my class and encourage my former students to study and practice their math so they can move on to the next level. I am now teaching the GED prep classes for students that are in their last step of their endeavor to pass the math portion of the GED. If you are on the ABE level, the next level after making a 9.0 or higher on the TABE will put you in my class once again. I encourage my former students to re-visit some of the exercises and explanations on my blog and ask questions if needed. I am more than happy to answer any questions asked as a comment in my blog, or any questions asked on my e-mail no matter what level you are on in the process to pass the math section of the GED.
For my new students taking my GED prep class, I will be posting exercises on my blog after we have worked on them in class. I also encourage you to review fractions, decimals, percents, and integers both on my blog and on some of the math sites which I have links to on my blog. 25% of the GED math is Algebra, and 25% is Geometry. I will be concentrating on these areas in the GED prep class as well as making sure that the basic concepts of fractions, decimals, percents, and integers are understood. I already have some algebra and geometry exercises with explanations on my blog, but I will be adding more material in these areas, with a concentration on word problems. My approach to math is not one of memorization, but one of understanding concepts proficiently enough to use them to solve problems you have never seen before.
I am looking forward to helping you accomplish your goal of passing the GED so that you may go further with your education on the college level. If you want to accomplish your goals as much as I want you to, then you should have no problem getting to that level.
