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. About 2.2 pounds






2. .01 = 1%






3. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






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






5. A + (b + c) = (a + b) + c Note: Subtraction does not have the associative property.






6. All the rational and irrational numbers






7. 2 pints






8. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






9. Divide the denominator into the numerator






10. 144 square inches






11. Is greater than






12. .83 1/3 = 83 1/3%






13. 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.






14. 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






15. Is less than






16. Is less than or equal to






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






18. 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






19. 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.






20. .125 = .12 1/2= 12 1/2%






21. 1000 kilograms






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






23. About 0.6 mile






24. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






25. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






26. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






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






28. 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






29. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






30. 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.






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






32. 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






33. Is greater than or equal to






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






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






36. Multiplication outside parentheses distributing over either addition or subtraction inside parentheses does not affect the answer a(b + c) = ab + ac a(b - c) = ab - ac






37. A natural number greater than 1 that only has 1 and itself as divisors (an alternate definition is a natural number that has exactly two different divisors) - The first seven ________ are 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 11 - 13 - and 17






38. 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






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






40. Length (in. - ft. - yd - mi.) - Area (sq. in. - sq. ft. - sq. yd. - acre - sq. mi.) - Weight (oz. - lb. - T) - Capacity (cups - pt. - qt. - gal. - pecks - bushels) - Time (seconds - minutes - hours - days - weeks - months - years - decades - centurie






41. .1 = .10 = 10%






42. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






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






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






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






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






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