Look at direct variation and proportional reasoning. This investigation will help you to differentiate between relative and absolute meanings of "more" and to compare ratios without using common denominator algorithms. Topics include differentiating between additive and multiplicative processes and their effects on scale and proportionality, and interpreting graphs that represent proportional relationships or direct variation.

All sound is the product of airwaves crashing against our eardrums. The mathematical technique for understanding this and other wave phenomena is called the Fourier analysis, which allows the disentangling of a complex wave into basic waves called sinusoids, or sine waves. In this unit we discover how the Fourier analysis is used in creating electronic music and underpins all digital technology.
Use dynamic geometry software to construct figures with given characteristics, such as segments that are perpendicular, parallel, or of equal length, and to examine the properties of parallel lines and circles. Look past formal definitions and discover the properties and relationships among geometric figures for yourself.
Will world population outrun food resources? The "Green Revolution" of the 20th century multiplied crop yields, in part through increasing inputs of pesticides and fertilizers. How can farmers reduce their use of agricultural chemicals and still produce enough food?

This episode of GED Connection is called "Passing the GED Social Studies Test." This program is about what to expect when taking the social studies portion of the GED test, which covers history, economics, civics and government, and geography. Throughout this episode, the host goes over sample questions from the test in all areas of social studies. The kinds of questions that are covered are those involving maps, graphs, charts, timelines, dates, and political cartoons. A lot of the questions on the social studies test relate to history, and the questions could relate to any era. Having a general sense of the major events throughout history and knowing about their chronology is very important. The host explains that a good way to build knowledge about social studies is to read the newspaper and listen to the news on the radio and television. Above all, the biggest point that is made in this episode is that using logic and common sense will be the test taker's most important asset.
