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.

2. The left over amount when a number cannot be divided equally.






3. A number multiplied by itself or when the exponent is 2






4. A letter or symbol used to represent a number.






5. A pattern containing numbers.






6. A number that is subtracted from another number. Example: 9 - 5 = 4 (5 is the '___________.')






7. A number written as a product of its factors.






8. A portion or piece of a whole.






9. A number that when multiplied by itself equals a given number.(ex. The square root of 25 is equal to 5 because 5 times 5 equals 25).
