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.

2. Factor the number into two numbers - one (or more) of which is a perfect square - Take the square root of the perfect square(s) - Leave the others under the v






3. 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






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






5. .625 = .62 1/2 = 62 1/2%






6. 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.






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






8. 1760 yards 5280 feet






9. Change to an improper fraction and multiply; then change the answer - if in improper form - back to a mixed number and reduce if necessary.






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