    GED Prep Language Arts Literary Devices

    GED Prep language Arts Literary devices are like the tools at an author’s disposal.

    A simile is a comparison using the words “like” or “as”.

    A metaphor is also a comparison, stronger than a simile that does not use “like” or “as”, but usually uses a form of the verb “to be”.

    Literary Devices

    Literary devices are like the tools at an author’s disposal.

    A simile is a comparison using the words “like” or “as”.

    A metaphor is also a comparison, stronger than a simile that does not use “like” or “as”, but usually uses a form of the verb “to be”.

    Descriptive language is when an author uses adjectives and adverbs to paint a vivid picture with specific details. An author needs to find a balance between using too much and too little description.

    Alliteration is a device often used in poetry in which words have the same initial sound.

    Allusion is when an author makes a reference to another work in order to create a desired effect.

    Hyperbole is using exaggeration to make a point, such as saying that “I was so hungry I could eat a horse.”

    Personification is when an author gives human attributes to an inanimate object, such as describing a fire as “running”.

    An allegory is a story in which the characters, settings, or events have a deeper symbolic meaning such as George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”.

They are usually shown by a top number, called the numerator, and a bottom number, called the denominator. Between the numerator and the denominator, there is a slash, either a straight line(—) or a slash (/). The denominator shows how many parts are in a whole, (1) and the numerator shows how many parts you have. There are several ways that you will see fractions used. The reciprocal of a fraction is when you switch the numerator and the denominator. For example, 3/4 and 4/3 are reciprocals. Types of fractions First, there are simple fractions. In simple fractions, the numerator is smaller than, or equal to the denominator, meaning that you have a part of a whole, or exactly one whole thing. Then, there are complex fractions, in which the numerator is larger than the denominator. You can write these out like a normal fraction, or write them as a mixed number, which consists of an integer and a fraction side by side. If you have a complex fraction, you have at least one whole thing or more, and part of another whole. Simplifying fractions/equivalent fractions Sometimes, a fraction can be simplified. This means that it could be written as a fraction that has a smaller numerator and denominator without changing its value. If both numbers of a fraction can be divided by the same number, then the fraction can be simplified. This means that there are many fractions that are equal to the same part of a whole. For example, if you divide a whole into four parts, and you have two parts out of the whole (2/4), that is the same as diving a whole into two parts and having one of the two parts. (1/2). Both 2/4 are ½ are exactly half of the whole or 50%. You can divide both 2 and 4 by 2 to get 1 and 2 respectively. If you cannot divide the numbers of a fraction by the same number, then the fraction is as simple as possible. For example, the fraction 7/8 cannot be divided by the same number, and so is completely simplified. Converting fraction to mixed number/vice versa Sometimes, it will be useful to convert a fraction to a mixed number or from a mixed number back into a fraction. For sake of ease, first simplify the fraction if possible. To convert a fraction to a mixed number, you must first see if the numerator is greater than the denominator.If it is not, then you cannot create a mixed number because you do not have more than one whole. If the numerator is greater, then subtract the denominator from the numerator. For example, if the fraction 9/8 then you subtract 9 – 8 = 1. The result is you new numerator. You then put a large number one next to the fraction to show one whole unit. So, 9/8 becomes 1 1/8. Then, you need to check if the numerator is still greater than the denominator. In this case, it is not, and so you are done. If, however, you have the fraction 17/8, you would get 1 9/8. Because the numerator is still larger, repeat the process and add another whole unit. In this case, you would get 2 1/8. Now that the numerator is larger than the denominator, you are done. You can also think about it as dividing the numerator by the denominator, and leaving the remainder as the denominator. This works best when you have very large numerators. When you want to reverse this process, you have to follow another process. Simply multiply the integer, or large number by the denominator and then add this number to the numerator. For the example 2 1/8, this would be 2 x 8 = 16, and then 1 + 16 = 17. You then have the complex fraction 17/8. Adding and Subtracting Fractions In order to add or subtract fractions, you have to make sure they have the same denominator. If they do not have the same denominator, you need to find a common denominator. It is best to try to find the lowest common denominator to make things easier. In order to find this, you multiply the top and the bottom number by the same things. An easy way to find this is to multiply both number in one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction, and vice versa. 1/2 + 1/3 = x 3/6 + 2/6 = x 5/6 = x 3/4 – 1/5 = x 15/20 – 4/20 = x 11/20 = x Multiplying and Dividing Fractions To multiply fractions, all you have to do is multiply the numerators to create a new numerator and then you multiply the denominators to get a new denominator. Then you should simply the fraction. 3/4 x 4/5 3 x 4 = 12 4 x 5 = 20 12/20 3/5 To divide fractions, the easiest way to make this happen is the multiply by the ...

    2023 Audio GED Prep Mathematics Lesson 1

    Audio GED Prep Mathematics Lesson Audio GED Prep Mathematics will include: An integer is a positive or negative number that does not have a decimal or fraction. These are what are used when counting objects. See more below: The full GED Audio Course is available at: http://www.audiogedprep.com Full Course is available at: https://gumroad.com/l/wHvQ Lesson Summary: Audio GED Prep Mathematics Lesson 1 Integers and Decimal Definition of an integer/decimal An integer is a positive or negative number that does not have a decimal or fraction. These are what are used when counting objects. When a decimal point is present, everything to the left is an integer, and everything to the right is a decimal. A decimal is a part of an integer. Numbers closer to the decimal point are larger, which is the opposite of how it is for integers. Positive and negative numbers In math, you might see what is called a number line, in which the middle point is marked 0, and numbers are listed as points on a line going out to the left and right. The number 0 is neither positive nor negative, and everything to the right of 0 is a positive number, and everything to the left of 0 is a negative number. You indicate a negative number by putting a dash/minus sign in front of it. Negative numbers have their own set of rules. When you add a negative number, it is the same as subtracting that same number. If you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding that same number. Just remember that these two are reversed. When you multiply two negative numbers as well, you will always get a positive number. (The minus signs cancel each other out.) If, however, you multiply a negative number and a positive number, you will always get a negative number. Addition Addition is when you take two numbers and combine them to create a new total. Addition is indicated by a plus sign, which looks like a small cross. When you speak an addition equation, you say “five plus six is eleven”, which is the same as 5 + 6 = 11. Subtraction Subtraction is when you take two numbers and take one away from another to create a new total. Subtraction is indicated by a minus sign, which looks like a small dash. When you speak an addition equation, you say “ten minus nine is one”, which is the same as 10 – 1 = 9. Multiplication Multiplication is when you take one number and multiply that number by another number. Multiplication is indicated by a small X or sometimes an *. When you speak a multiplication equation, you say “four times three is twelve”, which is the same as 4 x 3 = 12 or 4 * 3 = 12. Division Division is when you take one number and divide into the number of parts indicated by a second number. Division is indicated by a division sign (÷) or sometimes by a slash (/). When you speak a division equation, you say “ten divided by two equals five”, which is the same as 10 ÷ 2 = 5 or 10/2 = 5. Absolute value Absolute value refers to how many units a number is worth, no matter whether it is positive or negative. You can mark the absolute value by putting vertical lines around a number, such as |2|. The absolute value of ten (|10|) is ten, and the absolute value of negative 10 (|-10|) is still 10. Comparisons Sometimes in math, you need to talk about whether something is greater than or less than, equal to, or not equal to something else. To show that something is greater than something else, you use the sign >. Example: 7 > 4 The sign ≥ means “greater than or equal to”. To show that something is less than something else, you use the sign Example: 2 < 4 The sign ≤ means “less than or equal to”. To show that something is equal to something else, you use the sign = Example: 5-2 = 1+2 To show that something is not equal to something else, you use the sign ≠ Example: 7-3 ≠ 9- 4 Large Addition It is easy to do simple addition in your head, but larger problems often require either a calculator or for you to figure it out on paper. In order to do this put the larger number on top and the smaller number below it so that all the digits line up, the ones in the ones place, the tens in the tens place and so on. You then draw a line below the two numbers to indicate the equals sign. The answer will go below the line. You then add the ones place, which is the place directly next to the decimal point to the left. If the sum of these numbers is less than ten, you simply write the total below the line directly underneath the ones place. If the result is larger than 10, you write a one above the next column over to the left and then the second digit of the total below the ones column. That one that you placed over the next column to the left needs to be figured into the total of the next column. You repeat this process until all of the columns have been added. If one number has more places than the other, there will be some columns that only have one number. In that case, the blank space is treated like a 0. Do not forget to add any ...
