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. 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






2. 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.






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






4. Positive numbers and negative numbers






5. Is approximately equal to






6. Change the percent to a fraction or decimal and multiply






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






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






9. 4 pecks






10. All the rational and irrational numbers






11. 8/10 = .8 = .80 = 80%






12. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






13. 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






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






15. 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.






16. 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






17. 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






18. To square a number - multiply it by itself






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






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






21. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






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






23. Is less than or equal to






24. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






25. 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






26. 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.






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






28. 1.1 yards






29. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






30. 2 cups






31. 2000 pounds






32. Is greater than or equal to






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. 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






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. 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.






37. 1760 yards 5280 feet






38. 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)






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






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