The Basic Operations
Build Your Basics
Understanding the four basic mathematical operations (not memorizing steps!) provides a strong foundation for the math skills you need for the GED®.
STEP 1: WATCH THE VIRTUAL CLASS VIDEO AND TAKE NOTES
Make sure to note the following:
The four basic operations and their inverses
The symbols (operands) mathematicians use to indicate each operation
The vocabulary words sum, difference, product, and quotient
The definition of each operation
