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. Is equal to






2. 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






3. 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.






4. Consist of two numbers separated by a bar which indicates division: the numerator is above the bar and the denominator is below the bar. Denominator: Tells you into how many equal parts something has been divided. Numerator: Tells you how many of tho






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






6. The product or quotient of two numbers with the same sign will produce a positive answer - The product or quotient of two numbers with the opposite signs will produce a negative answer






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






8. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






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






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






11. 1.00 = 100%






12. 1/30 ounce






13. 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)






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






15. 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






16. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






17. .1 = .10 = 10%






18. Used as grouping symbols






19. 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.






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






21. 9 square feet






22. A value that - when added to another number or multiplied with another number - does not change the value of that number






23. Positive numbers and negative numbers






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






25. .3 = .30 = 30%






26. Communicative property - Associative property - Distributive property






27. 8/10 = .8 = .80 = 80%






28. Is perpendicular to






29. 144 square inches






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






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






32. 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






33. Is less than






34. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






35. Is greater than






36. Find the LCD and subtract the numerators.






37. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






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






39. .125 = .12 1/2= 12 1/2%






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






41. Is approximately equal to






42. 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






43. 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






44. 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

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






47. Difference - minus - is decreased by - less than (example: 3 less than 7 is what?)






48. 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.






49. 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






50. 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
