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






2. 4 quarts






3. 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






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






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






6. Is less than






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






8. About 0.6 mile






9. 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






10. .7 = .70 = 70%






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






12. Positive numbers and negative numbers






13. 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






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






15. To square a number - multiply it by itself






16. 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.






17. .3 = .30 = 30%






18. .9 = .90 = 90%






19. 16 ounces






20. 1.1 quarts






21. 12 inches






22. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






23. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






24. 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






25. The square of a whole number






26. 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.






27. 1/30 ounce






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






29. If either numerator or denominator consists of several numbers - these numbers must be combined into one number - then reduce if necessary






30. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






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






32. Kiloleter (kl or kL) = 1000 liters hectoliter (hl or hL) = 100 liters decaliter (dal or daL) = 10 liters liter (l or L) = 1 liter deciliter (dl or dL) = 0.1 liter centiliter (cl or cL) = 0.01 liter milliliter (ml or mL) = 0.001 liter






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






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






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






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