Any revision or addition is strictly designed to give the reader complete, accurate coverage of all test objectives. The document presents a series of inserts, including text, examples, charts, and figures, that the testing service deems necessary to achieve 100% alignment with test objectives. These inserts, each of which is labeled by page number (and, as necessary, by other location references) represent improvements to the first edition.  \nWe recommend that readers print this supplement and keep it handy as they use the book.  \nPage 27: Insert the following after the third paragraph.  \nUSE LOGIC! Calculations are secondary in importance to finding a logical solution pathway that focuses on problem solving, modeling, thinking, and reasoning. The calculations, if done correctly, will always give you the correct solution, but ifyou don’t know what the problem is asking for, or if you cannot model it, or if you cannot reason through a solution pathway, how will you know what calculations to make? This book will help you with the calculations and give you ways to improve your logical skills—skills that you were “born knowing.”  \nSometimes it is possible to get mathematically correct results even if you use incorrect lines of reasoning. This can be because two “wrongs” made a “right” or due to several other scenarios. And sometimes you can use what seems to be a correct line of reasoning but come up with an incorrect answer. Be sure to check whether your answer makes sense.  \n\u003C\u003CNOTE>>An essential last step for each problem should be to always check whether the answer makes sense. \u003C\u003CEND OF NOTE>>  \nThe following popular riddle shows the importance of checking your answers. If you bought a cupcake and a cookie at a bake sale for $1 . 10, and the cupcake costs a dollar more than the cookie, how much did the cookie cost? A surprising number of people answer this right away as 10 cents. But if you  \nPage 1 of 27  \nCopyright © 2015 by Research & Education Association, Inc. All rights reserved.

(The correct answer is 5 cents.)  \nWhen starting a problem, ask yourself first what is the problem asking? What information is it giving? Is any of this information unnecessary or missing? As an example of a problem with unnecessary information (which should just be ignored), suppose Tim has twelve coins. He tells you that five of them are dimes and seven are worth five cents or more. He will give you all of the coins if you can tell him how many quarters he has. The problem is asking how many quarters there are. You know that five are dimesand seven are nickels, dimes, and quarters (and perhaps half dollars) . You can figure out that two of them must be coins that are nickels, quarters, or half dollars. But you don’t have enough information to say how many of each, so you can’t take Tim’s challenge. You have to have another piece of information, such as that he as two nickels, in which case you know there aren’t any quarters. If Tim told you the total value of the coins, you could figure out how many are dimes, even if it is by trial and error. But without the last piece of information, this is an impossible question to answer correc","cbCail0zthBqmeo0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail0zthBqmeo0","pdf",429462,"English","# Test-Alignment Purpose\n## Insert Format and 100% Coverage Goal\n## Logic-First Problem Solving Approach\n## Checking Answers for Reasonableness\n## Examples on Required vs Unnecessary Information","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Test-Alignment Supplement for GED Math?\",\"answer\":\"It provides complete alignment to GED math test objectives by adding and revising inserts that cover what the test requires.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the supplement stress logic over calculations?\",\"answer\":\"Correct calculations depend on first understanding the problem and building a logical solution pathway focused on problem solving, modeling, thinking, and reasoning.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the key last step recommended for each math problem?\",\"answer\":\"Always check whether the answer makes sense as an essential final step.\"}]","GED Math Test Tutor - Test-Alignment Supplement - REA 2015 | PDF",1789376028]
