Study Notes

General Education refers to the foundation of knowledge and skills taught across various subjects within a school curriculum. Math is one such subject covered under general education, which introduces students to basic concepts like counting, measuring, and understanding numbers. In elementary schools, children learn how to count using visual objects and pictures before moving onto more advanced number systems like fractions, decimals and percentages. Middle and high schools typically offer more advanced classes where students can pursue further study in areas like algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and statistics. Regardless of the specific level, the goal of teaching mathematics as part of general education is to equip students with the tools they need to perform basic arithmetic operations, solve problems, analyze data, make decisions based on information, and understand the world around them.
