An eight-week comprehensive review of mathematics (from basic arithmetic to introductory algebra and trigonometry), the Female Math Course not only helps women prepare for and pass high school equivalency math tests (e.g., GED, HiSET, AND TASC) with scores that denote college- and/or career-readiness; it also helps them prepare for and pass college mathematics placement exams with scores that will enable them to dispense with costly, credit-worthless, and time-consuming remedial courses.  Additionally, women seeking to prepare for graduate school assessments (e.g., GMAT and GRE), and miscellaneous pre-employment screening tests will find the Female Math Course extremely helpful.

While the primary focus of the Female Math Course is on helping students develop sound mathematical cognitive skills (e.g., memory, attention, and algorithmic-reasoning), there is a strong secondary emphasis on the development of non-cognitive traits, aka "soft skills" (e.g., perseverance, self-control, punctuality, and the ability to work cooperatively and congenially on a team) that are often valued as highly as cognitive skills in the workplace.

The Female Math Course would be offered online (Helicon, Inc.'s Female Math Course Classroom) from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m. (ET) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays; and it will be open to women all over the country.  Pre- and post-test Assessments will be given; certificates of completion will be awarded at the basic level and at the honors level (with the submission of a mathematics topic paper).

Originally designed as a stand-alone resource for low-income women in New York City who wanted to start or grow their own businesses, the Basics of Bookkeeping class has also been used by not-for-profit organizations as part of larger office operations training programs.  Google Sheets (free online spreadsheets) will be used to demonstrate many of the activities (e.g., posting to a general ledger, creating worksheets and making adjustments, calculating a trial balance, producing income statements and balance sheets, etc.)

The Basics of Bookkeeping class would be offered online in two parts on successive Mondays from 5:00 - 9:00 p.m.; certificates of completion (itemizing the topics covered) will be awarded.
