* 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 II begins with a thorough review of the four basic mathematical operationsâ€â€ÂÂaddition, subtraction, multiplication, and divisionâ€â€ÂÂas a foundation for the more advanced topics covered next, such as order of operations, factors, multiples, powers, roots, equations, and inequalities.
It also introduces geometry (from the Greek words geo, meaning Earth, and metria, meaning measurement). Created by the ancient Egyptians and enhanced by the ancient Greeks (e.g., Euclid, many of whose rules or truths are still used today), geometry includes the study of points, lines, surfaces, and solids.
The course contains four study units:
Numbers and Operations
Equations and Inequalities
Geometry: Terms, Perimeter, Circumference
Geometry: Area and Volumeâ€â€ÂÂand there are four exams
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
Solve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems more easily
Solve multi-step problems using the rules of the order of operations
Find the factors of a number
Determine whether a number is prime or composite
Use and evaluate exponential expressions
Use the power of 10 and scientific notation
