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. 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






2. Is less than or equal to






3. 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






4. 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)






5. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






6. Is perpendicular to






7. Divide - Insert decimal points and zeros accordingly






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






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






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






11. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






12. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






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






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






15. Is greater than






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






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






19. 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






20. 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






21. 1. Any number multiplied by 1 gives that number.

26. To square a number - multiply it by itself






27. Is equal to






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






29. .9 = .90 = 90%






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






31. 4 pecks






32. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites
