Subjects : common-core, math, 5th-grade
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. A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself (base).






2. A pair of symbols used to set apart parts of a problem so that those parts are done first - example ( ).






3. A mathematical phrase that contains operations - numbers - and/or variables - but doesn't have an equal sign






4. Anything that stands for or represents something else - Shapes - mathematical and scientific notations - currency signs - and other visual elements you can insert in documents.






5. One of four equal parts.






6. A number in front of a variable






7. An exact location in space - represented by a dot.






8. The amount of space that something occupies or the amount of space that something contains.
