WorkKeys® Applied Mathematics

The Applied Mathematics assessment measures the skill of applying mathematical reasoning and problem-solving techniques to workplace situations. KeyTrain's Applied Mathematics course emphasizes the application of these skills to real-world situations.

The program begins with a practice and review of the basic concepts of mathematical operations including money, measurement and time. In each topic these skills are applied to practical word problems. A systematic approach to solving word problems is emphasized throughout the program. If the user cannot solve a particular problem using the method, the user can display the solution to the problem and try again.

Users can practice basic skills such as math operations, making change, working with fractions and percentages using randomly generated practice problems. The learner then applies these skills to more difficult real-world applications and problems.
