* Prospective NCAA Division I and II student-athletes should visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website (www.eligibilitycenter.org) and seek the NCAA's acceptance of a particular Education Provider's virtual course prior to registration.
General Math I explains the concepts involving whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percents, and measurement.
Step by step, each study unit builds on the previous one. This immensely practical course helps provide students with the math foundation needed for success in virtually any career, and it helps them accurately handle everyday activities ranging from baking a cake to painting a house. It's also a prerequisite for General Math II.
It contains six study units: Whole Numbers, Fraction, Decimal, Measurement
Ratios, Proportions, and Percent, and General Revie.
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
Define, read, write, round off, and work with whole numbers
Read a number line and evaluate the relationship of one whole number to another
Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers
