Unpacking the Math HiSET Test

Part 1: Topic Lessons & Activities

Kim Hanson Summer 2014

For this part of the Mini-Grant, I have taken the top 10 Math topics from two HiSET Practice Tests and found contextual activities, lessons, and Foldable Lessons to support them.

Foldable Lesson Ideas: Foldables are 3-dimesional graphic organizers that students create to enhance the learning of a skill or concept. They help the student stay organized and retain information. Foldables break up information into smaller pieces making it easier for students too process and remember information.

a. Material needs for these hands-on activities include: different sized and colored papers, scissors, glue sticks, and colored writing utensils.

b. See Foldables Basics in Appendix

Warm-up #1: Expressions

1. 16 ? 21 2. 32(-4) 3. 16 ? -4 4. -5 + 7 5. (-72)(-15) 6.

Warm-up #2a: Floor Activity: (Kinesthetic) Write math vocabulary words, symbols, and phrases on index cards. Place the 8 Headings out on the floor. Randomly hand out the index cards to each student and have them sort according to the correct heading. Check for correctness as a class. Warm-up #2b:

Have students fill in the chart once the Floor activity has been completed.
