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






2. Is not equal to






3. .1 = .10 = 10%






4. 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.






5. 25/100 = .25 = 25%






6. 1.00 = 100%






7. 1. Any number multiplied by 1 gives that number.






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






9. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






10. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






11. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






12. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






13. 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






14. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






15. Invert (turn upside down) the second fraction and multiply; reduce if necessary.






16. Find a number that divides evenly into one numerator and one denominator. Reducing early only applies to multiplying fractions - not adding or subtracting.






17. 1/30 ounce






18. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






19. Read it - Write it - Reduce it






20. Find the LCD and subtract the numerators.






21. Is equal to






22. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






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






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






25. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






26. Used as grouping symbols






27. When the place value name ends with a 'ths -' it is an indication of being a fraction.






28. The product or quotient of two numbers with the same sign will produce a positive answer - The product or quotient of two numbers with the opposite signs will produce a negative answer






29. 2.00 = 200%






30. Sum - plus - is increased by - more than (example: 3 more than 7 is what?)






31. About 0.6 mile






32. A value that - when added to another number or multiplied with another number - does not change the value of that number






33. Fraction must be reduced to its lowest terms. This is done by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) for both the numerator and denominator and then dividing both the numerator and denominator by that value.






34. 2000 pounds






35. 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.






36. A fraction whose numerator is the same or more than the denominator; has a value equal to 1 or more than 1.






37. Eliminate the percent sign - Move the decimal point two places to the left (sometimes adding zeros will be necessary)






38. A number in scientific notation is written as a rational number from 1 to 9 - and then multiplied by a power of 10






39. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number (an alternate definition is a natural number that has exactly two different divisors) The first seven ____________ are 4 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 12 - and 14






40. 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






41. Multiply the whole number by the denominator - add the numerator - and then place that value over the denominator






42. Is less than or equal to






43. A + (b + c) = (a + b) + c Note: Subtraction does not have the associative property.






44. 2 pints






45. A natural number greater than 1 that only has 1 and itself as divisors (an alternate definition is a natural number that has exactly two different divisors) - The first seven ________ are 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 11 - 13 - and 17






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






47. 12 inches






48. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






49. 1000 kilograms






50. Mnemonic: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally 1. Parentheses 2. Exponents 3. Multiplication or division 4. Addition or subtraction (left to right)
