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. Divide the percent by 100 - Eliminate the percent sign - Reduce if necessary






2. Multiply the numerators - multiply the denominators - and reduce to lowest terms if possible






3. 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






4. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






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






6. Is perpendicular to






7. 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.






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






9. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






10. Is approximately equal to






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






12. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






13. 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






14. 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






15. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






16. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






17. The square of a whole number






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






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






20. The multiplicative inverse of a number (also known as the reciprocal of the number) is a value that - when multiplied with any non -zero number - equals 1. Any non -zero number multiplied with its multiplicative inverse equals 1. The multiplicative i






21. 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






22. Quotient - ratio - is a part of - goes into (examples: 3 is what part of 15? 4 goes into 28 how many times?)






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






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






25. Find the LCD and add the whole numbers to get your final answer.






26. 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)






27. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






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






29. 2 cups






30. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






31. 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






32. .3 = .30 = 30%






33. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






34. Divide - Insert decimal points and zeros accordingly






35. .9 = .90 = 90%






36. 1/30 ounce






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






38. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






39. 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






40. 4 pecks






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






42. 1.00 = 100%






43. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






44. Is less than






45. .01 = 1%






46. Is greater than






47. 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.






48. Used as grouping symbols






49. Is equal to






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