Online modules for GED math
The Dartmouth Learning Network in Nova Scotia has created online math modules covering the following topics tested in the GED:
Whole numbers and integers
Interpreting graphs and tables
Fractions
Decimals and operations
Percentages
Ratio and proportion
Solving equations
Data analysis and probability
Measurement and geometry
Algebra coordinate planes and functions
Brief explanations are followed by a series of interactive questions. If you register as an instructor, you can access student reports/scores once you’ve set up a class.

Pre-GED adult education math and numeracy slides (Part 2 of 2)
The Adult Ed Math Courses from Literacy Minnesota were developed for remote learning situations. This set focuses on pre-GED topics. The slides were designed to accompany a math textbook/workbook, namely Math Sense 2. However this is only a suggestion. The slides can work with any resource, online or on paper, that provides some additional practice for the concepts and strategies taught in the slides. A teacher guide and lesson template are also available.

GED math videos
The Florida Literacy Coalition has curated a collection of Khan Academy video mini-lessons to help adult learners prepare to write the math portion of the GED test. There are six topics in the collection:
Foundations
Basic math
Basic algebra
Graphs and functions
Geometry
Each topic has a pre and post test using Google Forms. The videos and quizzes can be accessed on a website or an app. A fillable PDF tracking sheet is also available.
Khan Academy content is free and can be downloaded. It can also be re-posted on other sites. Uses are limited to non-commercial, educational purposes and no derivatives.
GED math packets
While this collection of GED and high school equivalency math packets (PDFs) is aligned to New York state requirements. Topics are similar to the Canadian GED test.
These are the 8 subject areas, divided into part one and part two, for a total of 16 packets:
Geometry
Area & Population Density
Volume & the Density of Matter
Rigid Transformations: Shapes on a Plane
Lines, Angles, & Shapes: Measuring Our World
Algebra and Functions
The Power of Exponents
Tools of Algebra: Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities
Tools of Algebra: Linear Functions

Interpreting interesting graphs
Each week, a graph is posted for students to analyze in a feature called What's going on in this graph? Students can also post responses but will need an account. You can see all comments for the graph, which could be used as part of your instruction. After commenting closes, an explanation of the graph is also published. You can search the collection and access over 60 graphs along with the archived comments and explanation. In addition, teaching support is available using the On-Demand Webinar: Teaching With Graphs From The New York Times.
