Math Knowledge
Choose one complete lesson and work through its explanations, formulas, and step-by-step examples.
Arithmetic & Number Skills
Arithmetic and number skills are the foundation of Math Knowledge. Many algebra and geometry problems become much easier when you are comfortable working with integers, fractions, decimals, factors, exponents, roots, and common conversions. The goal of this lesson is to make these skills quick and reliable.

2Algebra
Algebra uses numbers, variables, and operations to represent relationships. A variable is a symbol, usually a letter such as x or y, that represents a number. The most important algebra skills for Math Knowledge are simplifying expressions, solving equations and inequalities, working with exponents and radicals, factoring, and using formulas. The goal is not to memorize random steps. The goal is to keep an equation balanced while isolating the value you need.

3Geometry & Measurement
Geometry focuses on shapes, distances, angles, area, and space. For ASVAB Math Knowledge, the most important geometry skills are knowing the basic formulas and recognizing which formula a problem is asking you to use. Many geometry problems become simple once you identify what information you are given, what measurement the question wants, and which formula connects those values. Pay close attention to units: length uses regular units, area uses square units, and volume uses cubic units.

4Ratios, Percents & Data
Ratios, percents, probability, and basic statistics are all ways of comparing quantities and interpreting information. For ASVAB Math Knowledge, you should be comfortable comparing quantities with ratios, solving simple proportions, finding unit rates, converting between fractions, decimals, and percents, calculating percent change, finding basic probabilities, calculating mean, median, mode, and range, and reading simple frequency data. The most important skill is identifying what the numbers represent before calculating.
