Covers surface area and volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres. Applies GED formula sheet usage to multi-step 3-D problems.

Lesson 2 • Polygons, Perimeter, and Area

Extends area and perimeter skills to quadrilaterals and composite figures. Reinforces formula application and unit awareness from the math foundations chapter.

Lesson 3 • Angles, Lines, and Geometric Properties

Covers angle relationships, parallel lines with transversals, and basic geometric proofs. Establishes the vocabulary and properties used throughout the geometry chapter.

Lesson 4 • Circles: Circumference, Area, and Arcs

Teaches circle vocabulary, circumference, area, and arc-length calculations. Connects circle geometry to real-world and data-display contexts.

Lesson 1 • Vocabulary in Context

Builds strategies for determining word meaning using context clues, roots, and affixes. Directly improves comprehension of complex GED reading passages.

Lesson 2 • Literary Elements and Fiction Analysis

Analyzes character, setting, plot, conflict, and theme in literary texts. Connects literary analysis skills to the fiction passages on the GED RLA test.

Lesson 3 • Main Idea and Supporting Details

Teaches identifying explicit and implicit main ideas and distinguishing them from supporting details. Anchors all subsequent reading comprehension skills.

Lesson 4 • Textual Evidence and Inference

Develops skills for citing evidence and drawing logical inferences from text. Prepares students for evidence-based questions across all GED reading passages.

Lesson 1 • Extended Response Planning and Drafting

Guides students through analyzing the prompt, outlining, and drafting a thesis-driven essay. Directly prepares students for the 45-minute extended response task.

Lesson 2 • Paragraph Development and Transitions

Teaches topic sentences, coherent paragraph organization, and effective transition use. Connects sentence-level skills to multi-paragraph essay construction.

Lesson 3 • Sentence Structure and Clarity

Addresses run-ons, fragments, parallel structure, and modifier placement. Improves sentence-level clarity essential for both editing items and the extended response.

Lesson 4 • Revising, Editing, and Scoring Rubrics

Applies the official scoring rubric to evaluate and revise student-written responses. Builds self-editing habits that improve scores on both editing items and the essay.

Lesson 1 • Physical Science: Matter, Energy, and Forces

Reviews atomic structure, states of matter, chemical reactions, and Newton's laws. Builds physical science content knowledge for GED multiple-choice and short-answer items.

Lesson 2 • Earth and Space Science

Covers plate tectonics, the rock cycle, weather systems, and Earth's place in space. Completes the science content coverage required for the GED Science test.

Lesson 3 • Life Science: Cells, Genetics, and Evolution

Covers cell structure, DNA, heredity, and natural selection at the GED level. Connects biological concepts to data interpretation and evidence-based reasoning.

Lesson 4 • Scientific Reasoning and Experimental Design

Introduces the scientific method, hypothesis formation, and experimental variables. Establishes the reasoning framework applied to all science content areas.

Lesson 1 • Geography and Map Interpretation

Develops map-reading skills, geographic themes, and human-environment interaction analysis. Completes the social studies content coverage and data-interpretation skill set.

Lesson 2 • United States History: Founding to 1900
