Topology, known as "rubber sheet math," is a field of mathematics that concerns those properties of an object that remain the same even when the object is stretched and squashed. In this unit we investigate top ology's seminal relationship to network theory, the study of connected ness, and its critical function in understanding the shape of the univ erse in which we live.
Examine visual methods for finding least common multiples and greatest common factors, including Venn diagram models and area models. Explor e prime numbers. Learn to locate prime numbers on a number grid and to determine whether very large numbers are prime.
Learn how to use the concept of similarity to measure distance indirec tly, using methods involving similar triangles, shadows, and transits. Apply basic right-angle trigonometry to learn about the relationships among steepness, angle of elevation, and height-to-distance ratio. Us e trigonometric ratios to solve problems involving right triangles.
Explore various aspects of solid geometry. Examine platonic solids and why there are a finite number of them. Investigate nets and cross-sec tions for solids as a way of establishing the relationships between tw o–dimensional and three–dimensional geometry.
Counting is an act of organization, a listing of a collection of thing s in an orderly fashion. Sometimes it's easy; for instance counting pe ople in a room. But listing all the possible seating arrangements of t hose people around a circular table is more challenging. This unit loo ks at combinatorics, the mathematics of counting complicated configura tions. In an age in which the organization of bits and bytes of data i s of paramount importance

This episode of "GED Connection" covers measurement. It goes over the units of measurement that we use, when we use them, and how they're co nverted to other forms of measurement. It is explained that useful con versions will be supplied on the GED test for those who take it but th at it's a good idea to commit them to memory anyways. The program take s a look at workers on a construction site as they use a tape measure to figure out feet and inches, a landscape architect as she figures ou t the area and volume of the space she is working on, and an architect as she explains the importance of volume and cubic feet and yards. Th is program also covers the benefits of the metric system.
