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






2. Is less than or equal to






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






4. 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.






5. .125 = .12 1/2= 12 1/2%






6. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






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






8. 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.






9. .3 = .30 = 30%






10. Divide the denominator into the numerator






11. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






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






13. 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.






14. 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)






15. Is greater than or equal to






16. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






17. Positive numbers and negative numbers






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






19. 2 pints






20. Is equal to






21. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






22. The same as dividing other numbers - except that if the divisor (the number you're dividing by) has a decimal - move it to the right as many places as necessary until it is a whole number - Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being div






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






24. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






25. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






26. 1.1 yards






27. 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






28. All the rational and irrational numbers






29. (change/starting point) x 100 = percentage change






30. .9 = .90 = 90%






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






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






33. Product - times - of - at (examples: 2/3 of 5 is what? 3 at 5 cents cost how much?)






34. The results of taking integers and raising them to the 3rd power (cubing them) The first seven positive ____________ are 1 - 8 - 27 - 64 - 125 - 216 - and 343






35. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






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






37. 16 ounces






38. 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






39. 1760 yards 5280 feet






40. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






41. 1.1 quarts






42. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






43. Move the decimal point two places to the right - Insert a percent sign






44. Is not equal to






45. Read it - Write it - Reduce it






46. 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






47. 144 square inches






48. 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






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






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