CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest 2a Domain 1: Math

Subjects : cset, math
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. .1 = .10 = 10%






2. Consist of two numbers separated by a bar which indicates division: the numerator is above the bar and the denominator is below the bar. Denominator: Tells you into how many equal parts something has been divided. Numerator: Tells you how many of tho






3. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






4. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






5. To round off any number: Underline the place value to which you're rounding off - Look to the immediate right (one place) of your underlined place value - Identify the number (the one to the right). If it is 5 or higher - round your underlined place






6. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






7. Find the LCD and subtract the numerators.






8. The additive inverse of a number (also known as the opposite of the number) is a value that - when added to any number - equals 0. Any number added to its additive inverse equals 0.






9. The numbers must be combined under the radical before any computation of square roots may be done






10. The results of taking integers and raising them to the 2nd power (squaring them) The first seven positive ___________ are 1 - 4 - 9 - 16 - 25 - 36 - and 49






11. Any value that exists but is not rational






12. Any exponent means to multiply by itself that many times






13. .83 1/3 = 83 1/3%






14. 25/100 = .25 = 25%






15. Is greater than






16. Milli = 1/1000 centi = 1/100 deci = 1/10 basic unit (meter - liter - gram) = 1 deca = 10 hecto = 100 kilo = 1000






17. .01 = 1%






18. Is perpendicular to






19. 1760 yards 5280 feet






20. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






21. You may have to borrow from the whole number - just like you sometimes borrow from the next column when subtracting ordinary numbers. To subtract a mixed number from a whole number - you have to borrow from the whole number.






22. First change all the denominators to their least common multiple (LCM) - which in fractions is known as the least common denominator (LCD). This value is the least positive value that all the denominators will divide into without a remainder.






23. Length (in. - ft. - yd - mi.) - Area (sq. in. - sq. ft. - sq. yd. - acre - sq. mi.) - Weight (oz. - lb. - T) - Capacity (cups - pt. - qt. - gal. - pecks - bushels) - Time (seconds - minutes - hours - days - weeks - months - years - decades - centurie






24. All values that can be expressed in the form a/b - where a and b are integers and b ? 0 - Or - when expressed in decimal form - the expression either terminates or has a repeating pattern






25. The same as dividing other numbers - except that if the divisor (the number you're dividing by) has a decimal - move it to the right as many places as necessary until it is a whole number - Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being div






26. A fraction whose numerator is smaller than its denominator; has a value less than 1.






27. Two numbers multiplied under a radical (square root) sign equal the product of the two square roots - and likewise with division.






28. Subtract = add the opposite; change the sign of the number being subtracted - and then proceed as an addition problem






29. The grouping - without changing the order - does not affect the answer






30. Kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams hectogram (hg) = 100 grams decagram (dag) = 10 grams gram (g) = 1 gram decigram (dg) = 0.1 gram centigram (cg) = 0.01 gram milligram (mg) = 0.001 gram






31. A + b = b + a Note: Subtraction does not have the communicative property.






32. Communicative property - Associative property - Distributive property






33. Multiplication outside parentheses distributing over either addition or subtraction inside parentheses does not affect the answer a(b + c) = ab + ac a(b - c) = ab - ac






34. A(bc) = (ab)c Note: Division does not have the associative property.






35. 12 inches






36. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






37. 1000 kilograms






38. To find the square root of a number - you want to find some number that when multiplied by itself gives you the original number






39. Is less than or equal to






40. Is greater than or equal to






41. Read it - Write it - Reduce it






42. .625 = .62 1/2 = 62 1/2%






43. Product - times - of - at (examples: 2/3 of 5 is what? 3 at 5 cents cost how much?)






44. 1.1 yards






45. Numbers to the left of the decimal point are whole numbers; numbers to the right of the decimal point are fractions with denominators of only 10 - 100 - 1000 - 10000 - etc.






46. Ab = ba Note: Division does not have the communicative property.






47. Change the percent to a fraction or decimal and multiply

49. .16 2/3 = 16 2/3%






50. About 0.6 mile
