Continue to examine the idea of mathematical proof. Look at several ge ometric or algebraic proofs of one of the most famous theorems in math ematics: the Pythagorean theorem. Explore different applications o f the Pythagorean theorem, such as the distance formula.
The conventional notion of dimension consists of three degrees of free dom: length, width, and height, each of which is a quantity that can b e measured independently of the others. Many mathematical objects, how ever, require more
Extend your understanding of fractions and decimals. Examine terminati ng and non-terminating decimals. Explore ways to predict the number of decimal places in a terminating decimal and the period of a non-termi nating decimal. Examine which fractions terminate and which repeat as decimals, and why all rational numbers must fall into one of these cat egories. Explore methods to convert decimals to fractions and vice ver sa. Use benchmarks and intuitive methods to order fractions.
Learn that area is a measure of how much surface is covered. Explore t he relationship between the size of the unit used and the resulting me asurement. Find the area of irregular shapes by counting squares or su bdividing the figure into sections. Learn how to approximate the area more accurately by using smaller and smaller units. Relate this counti ng approach to the standard area formulas for triangles, trapezoids, a nd parallelograms.
Watch this program in the 10th session for K–2 and 3–5 teach ers. Explore how the concepts developed in this course can be applied through case studies of K–5 teachers who have adapted their new k nowledge to their classrooms.
Throughout the ages, the notion of infinity has been a source of myste ry and paradox, a philosophical question to ponder. As a mathematical concept, infinity is at the heart of calculus, the notion of irrationa l numbers

This episode of GED Connection focuses on Algebra. Algebra is a symbol ic language used to describe relationships among numbers. On the GED t est you'll be expected to know how to use algebra to simplify equation s, and how to solve for variables. You'll also need to know how to wor k with signed (positive and negative) numbers. Some of the important t erms discussed in this program are: equation, balance, unknowns, varia bles, and inverse operations. Other important concepts such as isolati ng the variable, simplifying the equation, commutative properties, dis tributive properties, and positive and negative numbers are also discu ssed.
