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. 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.






2. Ab = ba Note: Division does not have the communicative property.






3. Multiply the numerators - multiply the denominators - and reduce to lowest terms if possible






4. 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






5. Positive numbers and negative numbers






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






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






8. Is approximately equal to






9. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






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






11. When the place value name ends with a 'ths -' it is an indication of being a fraction.






12. .33 1/3 = 33 1/3%






13. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






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






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






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






17. 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






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






19. Subtract = add the opposite; change the sign of the number being subtracted - and then proceed as an addition problem






20. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






21. 144 square inches






22. 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






23. Move the decimal point two places to the right - Insert a percent sign






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






25. Is less than or equal to






26. Is not equal to






27. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






28. Is less than






29. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






30. 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






31. 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






32. 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






33. 2000 pounds






34. 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






35. Multiply the whole number by the denominator - add the numerator - and then place that value over the denominator






36. 3 feet 36 inches






37. .1 = .10 = 10%






38. .625 = .62 1/2 = 62 1/2%






39. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






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






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






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






43. 16 ounces






44. 2 cups






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






46. 1.1 yards






47. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






48. 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






49. Factor the number into two numbers - one (or more) of which is a perfect square - Take the square root of the perfect square(s) - Leave the others under the v






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