Common Core Achieve: Mathematics teacher supplement provides teaching strategies and guided activities aligned to the GED® Test Math Student Supplement. It supports instruction beyond the core student materials by strengthening conceptual understanding, reasoning, and higher-order thinking across key topics. The guide explains the GED® Mathematical Reasoning Test structure, content balance between quantitative and algebraic problem solving, calculator rules, and item types, then connects learning to Webb’s Depth of Knowledge levels. Objectives emphasize place value and whole-number skills.

The GED® Test Math Student Supplement provides students with additional instruction and practice on select key concepts, core skills, and core practices that will help them better prepare for the GED® Test and for college-level math courses. How to Use This Supplement The GED® Test Math Teacher Supplement contains teaching strategies and activities for each topic in the student supplement. Activities place an increased emphasis on conceptual understanding and reasoning using higher-order thinking skills. Both the student and teacher supplements are designed to support or enhance the lessons in the Core Student Module, Instructor Resource Guide, and Exercise Book. Each topic provides instruction and practice on concepts that may be tested on the GED® Test but go beyond the foundational instruction in the Core Student Module. About the GED∏ Mathematical Reasoning Test The GED® Mathematical Reasoning Test assesses across two content areas: quantitative and algebraic problem solving, with a breakdown of approximately 45% focusing on quantitative problem solving, and approximately 55% focusing on algebraic problem solving. The test is broken down into two parts: a short calculator-prohibited section, and a longer calculator-allowed section. Multiple item types are used on the test including multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, dropdown, drag-and-drop, and hotspot. All of the item types may utilize graphs, tables, maps, or other information presented visually. The GED® Mathematical Reasoning Test assesses across the Webb’s Depth of Knowledge spectrum, asking students to answer questions that range from recall questions (DOK 1) to strategic thinking questions (DOK 3). The test assesses approximately 20% of its items at the DOK 1 level (recall), and 80% of its items at the DOK 2 (application of concepts) and DOK 3 (strategic thinking) levels. On test day, students will be allowed to use the calculator provided
