Has Modern Technology, such as the computer, made people’s lives better or worse?
   Write an essay to explain your view on that topic. Use your personal observations, experience, and
                                    knowledge to support your view.

            Has modern technology made your life better? I believe modern technology has made people’s
lives better because it keeps people organized, improves education, and makes communication easier.

           First, modern technology makes people’s lives better because it helps them keep organized. Cell
phones have alarms so that people never forget about meetings. Computers have calendars where you can
keep track of all your appointments and important dates. Technology definitely helps people keep organized.

           Also, modern technology makes people’s lives better because it improves education. Classrooms
can now have projectors where students can watch videos online. Students can even access school outside
the classroom using computers and the internet. This has allowed many people to get an education while
working and raising a family.

           Finally, modern technology makes people’s lives better because it makes communication easier.
With cell phones today families and friends can stay in touch whenever they want with a simple call.
Also, facebook allows people to stay connected and even find classmates and old friends.

           In conclusion, modern technology has made people’s lives better. With technology people can
keep organized every day. Technology also improves education and helps make communication easier. I look
forward to new technology and wonder how it will continue to make our lives better.

Elapsed Time
Elapsed time is the actual time it takes to complete a task. It is
finding the difference between to specific times, or adding to a
specific time. When adding, you may have to carry into another
unit. When subtracting, you may have to borrow from another
unit. This can make finding elapsed time very difficult for some.
Below is a chart with the measurements of time:


       1 minute = 60 seconds
       1 hour = 60 minutes
       24 hours = 1 day
       7 days = 1 week

   hour behind Tampa. How long did the trip
   take?

2. If Mrs. Tays leaves home at 6:45 A.M. and

Percent Word Problems
Before solving percent problems, it is necessary to change the
                     percent to a decimal.
 When given the percent, always move the decimal 2 places to
  the left.

   For example: 13% = .13
                                  Tenths
                          Ones
                                       Hundredths
                      Tens                Thousandths
               Hundreds


                     000 130      .
                                 decimal
Let’s practice changing the following percents to decimals.

1. 62% = _____        2. 122% = _____           3. 2% = _____
At the end of problems, you may need to change from a decimal
                     back into a percent.
 When you have a decimal, always move the decimal 2 places to
  the right to make a percent.

   For example: .6 = 60%
                                  Tenths
                          Ones
                                       Hundredths
                      Tens                Thousandths
               Hundreds


                     000 600      .
                                 decimal
Let’s practice changing the following decimals to percents.

1. .33 = _____        2. .6 = _____ 3. .03 = _____

One way to solve percent problems is to use the Percent
Pyramid. The pyramid will explain what operation is
necessary to solve the problem.




                                      In other words:
              Part                    •When given the PART,
                                      you must divide.
                 ÷
                                      •When given the
                                      WHOLE and the
                 X                    PERCENT, you must
      Whole          Percent          multiply.

Algebra
• You will use order of operations to solve three
  kinds of problems:

  – Substitution
  – Solving for variable
  – Word Problems
Algebra - Order of Operations
When expressions have more than one operation, we have to follow
rules for the order of operations:

     Purple Elephants Marching Down A Street

 Parenthesis    Exponents      Multiplying or    Addition or
                               Division          Subtraction


 • First, do all operations inside parentheses.
 • Next, solve the exponents.
 • Working from left to right, do all multiplication
   and division (whichever comes first)
 • Finally, working from left to right, do all
   addition and subtraction. (whichever comes first)
Order of Operations with a Calculator

                  The GED calculator allows its users to
[2+6] x 3 ÷ 6     solve problems that have multiple
                  operations. The entire problem can be
                  entered as it appears on the test. This is
                  an excellent resource for checking your
                  answers.

                  For example: (2 + 6) x 3 ÷ 6

                  Enter: [(---

                  Enter: 2 + 6

                  Enter: ---)]

                  Enter: x 3 ÷ 6

Algebra Rules

1. What you do to one side you must do to the other. This keeps
   them equal.

2. You must get the variable by itself to find out what number
   value it equals. The variable must be ALONE with nothing
   else touching it.
Solving for variable
One Step:                Multi-Step:
-4 = x + 2               ½ n -4 = 9-2
-2      -2               ½ n -4 = 7
 x = -6                      +4 +4
                         ½ n = 11
Multi-Step:              2( ½ n) = 11(2)
3 + 2n = 43              n = 22
-3        -3
2n = 40                  Like Terms:
 2    2                  2x + 3x + 4 = 6

Geometry
• You will use what you know about geometry
  to solve word problems and diagrams:

  – length of triangles (Pythagorean theorem)
  – angle measurements
  – area
  – perimeter
  *may be combined with algebra
Pythagorean Theorem
•Is used to find the third side of a right triangle when the
other two sides are known.

•Key Terms:                                         c
•a & b are known as the legs.             a
• c is known as the hypotenuse.
                                                b
•The hypotenuse will always be the opposite side of the
right angle.

•The formula for solving Pythagorean problems is:

                          a² + b² = c²
Pythagorean Theorem
•When you are solving Pythagorean word
problems you will need to identify what sides you
are looking for. The following words be used to
refer to the hypotenuse, side c:


The hyptenuse =
• diagonal
• direct distance
• directly
• any intermediary directions (NW,NE,SW,SE)
• original destination
Pythagorean Theorem
1. Barnstable is directly west of Appleton by 48 miles,
   and Chatham is directly south of Barnstable. To go
   directly from Chatham to Appleton is 52 miles. How
   far is it from Barnstable to Chatham?

A)   20
B)   24
C)   36
D)   40
E)   70
Pythagorean Theorem
2. A temporary brace is built to support a new
wall. The brace is 12 m long. The brace touches
wall 10 m above the ground. How far out is the
brace from the wall?
Triangles
Why do I need to know about triangles?

The GED Test will ask testers to identify missing angles. In order to
answer those questions, a person must have an understanding of
triangles and their characteristics.


      A triangle has three sides and three angles
      The three angles always add up to 180°

                     a


                                 a + b + c = 180⁰

            b                c
Equilateral, Isosceles and Scalene
There are three special names given to triangles that tell
how many sides are equal.


                                     Equilateral Triangle
                                      Three equal sides
                                Three equal angles, always 60°


                                      Isosceles Triangles
                                        Two equal sides
                                       Two equal angles

                                       Scalene Triangle
                                        No equal sides
                                       No equal angles
• Triangles can also have names that tell you
   what type of angle is inside:
                                Acute Triangle
                                All angles are less
                                than 90°



    Right Triangle
Has a right angle (90°)


                                  Obtuse Triangle
                                   Has one angle
                                  more than 90°

Scatter Plot
• Scatter Plots are based on individual items. It is
  important to remember that each dot represents
  ONE.
• Like all other graphs, it is very important to read
  all the information presented on the graph.
• Most of the time, a scatter plot is used to
  determine the future trends or to show
  comparisons between two items.
   – A scatter plot has an imaginary line on the graph that is called the Line of
     Best Fit. It gives a visual picture of the trend(s) for that specific chart.

I believe modern technology has made people’s lives better because it keeps people organized, improves education, and makes communication easier. First, modern technology makes people’s lives better because it helps them keep organized. Cell phones have alarms so that people never forget about meetings. Computers have calendars where you can keep track of all your appointments and important dates. Technology definitely helps people keep organized. Also, modern technology makes people’s lives better because it improves education. Classrooms can now have projectors where students can watch videos online. Students can even access school outside the classroom using computers and the internet. This has allowed many people to get an education while working and raising a family. Finally, modern technology makes people’s lives better because it makes communication easier. With cell phones today families and friends can stay in touch whenever they want with a simple call. Also, facebook allows people to stay connected and even find classmates and old friends. In conclusion, modern technology has made people’s lives better. With technology people can keep organized every day. Technology also improves education and helps make communication easier. I look forward to new technology and wonder how it will continue to make our lives better.
