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. Any exponent means to multiply by itself that many times






2. 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






3. Is greater than






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






5. The square of a whole number






6. About 2.2 pounds






7. 1.00 = 100%






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






9. 1.1 quarts






10. .1 = .10 = 10%






11. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






12. Divide the denominator into the numerator






13. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






14. .7 = .70 = 70%






15. 2000 pounds






16. 3 feet 36 inches






17. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






18. 2.00 = 200%






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






20. Change to an improper fraction and multiply; then change the answer - if in improper form - back to a mixed number and reduce if necessary.






21. 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.






22. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






23. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






24. 1.1 yards






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






26. A number in scientific notation is written as a rational number from 1 to 9 - and then multiplied by a power of 10






27. Is approximately equal to






28. 1000 kilograms






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






30. 16 ounces






31. .3 = .30 = 30%






32. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






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






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






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






36. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






37. Is greater than or equal to






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






39. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






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






41. 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






42. The numbers must be combined under the radical before any computation of square roots may be done






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






44. All the rational and irrational numbers






45. 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)






46. Is less than or equal to






47. 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






48. To square a number - multiply it by itself






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






50. 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
