Register receipts, spreadsheets, budgets, and the company’s bottom line are just a few of the instances in which employees are required to use some math knowledge. Therefore, one set of skills required by the WorkKeys® assessment is applied mathematics. WorkKeys learners must be able to apply mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving techniques to work-related problems.

This collection of resources, which originally appeared in KET’s Workplace Essential Skills and GED Connection series and accompanying workbooks, are designed to help learners with math skills.

Students studying for their GED® credential may also find practicing applied mathematics helpful. The GED® test requires test-takers to employ a wealth of mathematical skills, including those covered here.

This collection is partially funded by support provided by the Bluegrass Community Foundation.
