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






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






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






4. 3 feet 36 inches






5. .33 1/3 = 33 1/3%






6. When adding two numbers with the same sign (either both positive or both negative) - add the pure number portions (absolute values) and keep the sign that is on the numbers






7. Is greater than






8. 144 square inches






9. About 0.6 mile






10. 9 square feet






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






12. Is greater than or equal to






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






14. 2000 pounds






15. Numbers to the right of 0 are positive - Numbers to the left of 0 are negative - Given any two numbers on a number line - the one on the right is always larger - regardless of its sign (positive or negative)






16. Divide - Insert decimal points and zeros accordingly






17. .16 2/3 = 16 2/3%






18. When a value is expressed using a whole number together with a common fraction






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






20. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






21. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






22. For 'what -' substitute the letter x - For 'is -' substitute an equal sign - For 'of -' substitute a multiplication sign - Change percents to decimals or fractions and solve the equation






23. Any value that exists but is not rational






24. Positive numbers and negative numbers






25. Kilometer (km) = 1000 meters hectometer (hm) = 100 meters decameter (dam) = 10 meters meter (m) = 1 meter decimeter (dm) = 0.1 meter centimeter (cm) = 0.01 meter millimeter (mm) = 0.001 meter






26. 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






27. Communicative property - Associative property - Distributive property






28. The order in which addition or multiplication is done does not affect the answer






29. 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.






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






31. 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






32. 1.1 yards






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






34. 16 ounces






35. Line up the decimal points and then add or subtract in the same manner you would add or subtract regular numbers - Adding in zeros can make the problem easier to work with - Whole numbers can have decimal points to their right






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






37. 1000 kilograms






38. .01 = 1%






39. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






40. 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






41. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






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

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