OBJECTIVES• To articulate the content and format of the
Mathematical Reasoning module of the 2014 GED test
• To be able to use a few teaching strategies in your classrooms right away to begin the transition to the new test, including ways to use existing materials
• To create a personal PD plan related to the Mathematical Reasoning module

WARM UP1. What does this mean? Interpret this statement in
your own words and explain it to everyone at your table.
2. Does this concept connect with any math topics that you currently teach? Which topics?
Purpose 1: To demonstrate that it is possible to do everything that is on the GED 2014 Mathematical Reasoning module.Purpose 2: To expose everyone to the new content so that teachers will be more prepared to advocate for content knowledge refreshers at a later date.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Personally…do 2002 PLUS…• Reframing what we are ALREADY doing at EACH level• Pizza model • 10 minutes
What is New on the 2014 GED test?Q.1.d Identify absolute value of a rational number as its distance from 0 on the number line and determine the distance between two rational numbers on the number line, including using the absolute value of their differenceQ.2.d Determine when a numerical expression is undefinedA.1.f Factor polynomial expressionsA.3.a Solve linear inequalities in one variable with rational number coefficientsA.3.b Identify or graph the solution to a one variable linear inequality on a number lineA.3.c Solve real-world problems involving inequalitiesA.3.d Write linear inequalities in one variable to represent contextA.7.b Represent or identify a function in a table or graph as having exactly one output (one element in the range) for each input (each element in the domain).
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
Personally, we recommend just reframing what we are already doing at each level.

ASSESSMENT TARGET ACTIVITYDirections: Look at the 15 assessment targets of the 2014 GED Mathematical Reasoning module. Highlight trouble spots or confusing words in small groups.
After 5 minutes, each table will report out to Amy and Lindsey, who will take notes to inform future content-based PD.
Purpose: To FIND trouble areas, not to answer content questions

FOUR THEMES OF THE CHANGE1. Mathematical Practices2. Four Content Areas
• Number and Operation Sense• Algebra• Geometry• Data Analysis
3. Digital Literacy• Use of calculator• Item Types
4. Teaching at all levels now• Algebraic and Quantitative
DIGITAL LITERACYBasic Computer Skills1. Basic Mouse2. Word Processing3. Basic Keyboarding4. Using the online tools
several windows at one time
5. Composing at the keyboard – edit and revise
6. Tab browsing
Answer Types1. Multiple Choice2. Fill in the blank3. Hot spots 4. Drag and drop5. Drop down
