Review appropriate notation for angle measurement, and describe angles in terms of the amount of turn. Use reasoning to determine the measures of angles in polygons based on the idea that there are 360 degrees in a complete turn. Learn about the relationships among angles within shapes, and generalize a formula for finding the sum of the angles in any n-gon. Use activities based on GeoLogo to explore the differences among interior, exterior, and central angles.
Counting is an act of organization, a listing of a collection of things in an orderly fashion. Sometimes it's easy; for instance counting people in a room. But listing all the possible seating arrangements of those people around a circular table is more challenging. This unit looks at combinatorics, the mathematics of counting complicated configurations. In an age in which the organization of bits and bytes of data is of paramount importance
Explore number theory topics. Analyze Alpha math problems and discuss how they help with the conceptual understanding of operations. Examine various divisibility tests to see how and why they work. Begin examining factors and multiples.
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.
Investigate various approaches for summarizing variation in data, and learn how dividing data into groups can help provide other types of answers to statistical questions. Understand numerical and graphic representations of the minimum, the maximum, the median, and quartiles. Learn how to create a box plot.

Our first exposure to geometry is that of Euclid, in which all triangles have 180 degrees. As it turns out, triangles can have more or less than 180 degrees. This unit explores these curved spaces that are at once otherwordly and firmly of this world
I Choose My Future, a captivating presentation and video series, provides viewers with comprehensive, straightforward insight into how substance abuse impacts the individual, their families, and society.

This episode of GED Connection is called "Statistics and Probability." In it, the host and guests talk about where statistics come from and how to calculate the likelihood of something happening. Examples are given about how and where statistics ome into play in our daily lives. Government officials use the national census to figure out how much money to spend and where to spend it. When certain people in the census are unaccounted for, a statistical equation is used. Marketers and pollsters pick a sample of the population to do their research, and the accuaracy of that data depends on how well the sample is chosen. The different types of samples that are covered are: random, systematic, and self-selected. This program also covers polls and surverys and explains margin of error. Probability (also called odds) is discussed using coins and playing cards as examples. Figuring out the odds in a situation is also used in daily life as well, like weighing the risk of a serious medical procedure or deciding where or when to buy a house. Understanding probability and statistics helps to make wise decisions.
