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. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






2. Is less than or equal to






3. Communicative property - Associative property - Distributive property






4. 9 square feet






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






6. Is greater than or equal to






7. 1/30 ounce






8. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






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






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






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






12. 1.1 yards






13. Any value that exists but is not rational






14. .625 = .62 1/2 = 62 1/2%






15. About 0.6 mile






16. 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






17. To square a number - multiply it by itself






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






19. Length (meter) - Volume (liter) - Weight (gram)






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






21. 4 quarts






22. 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






23. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






24. 0. Any number added to 0 gives that number






25. Positive numbers and negative numbers






26. 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.






27. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






28. .83 1/3 = 83 1/3%






29. 2000 pounds






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






31. .3 = .30 = 30%






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






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






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






35. Multiply as usual - Count the total number of digits above the line which are to the right of all decimal points - Place your decimal point in your answer so there is the same number of digits to the right of it as there was above the line






36. 4 pecks






37. 25/100 = .25 = 25%






38. 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






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






40. 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.






41. Is greater than






42. 1.1 quarts






43. 12 inches






44. 8/10 = .8 = .80 = 80%






45. 1760 yards 5280 feet






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






47. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






48. 2 cups






49. .125 = .12 1/2= 12 1/2%






50. 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
