Review fractions, decimals, percents, integers, exponents, ratios, rates, and proportions. Number Sense and Relationships and Proportional Reasoning together are 43 of the 50 mathematics questions; practice with and without a calculator.
Strengthen Linear Relations and Measurement
Work through linear relations, first-degree equations, linear systems solved graphically, the Pythagorean theorem, metric conversions, perimeter, area, surface area, and volume (formulas are provided).
Review Data, Probability, and Financial Literacy Contexts
Study mean, median, mode, and probability, and practice earning, purchasing, saving, investing, and borrowing scenarios: at least 12 mathematics questions use a financial literacy context.
Prepare for the Pedagogy Section
Study Growing Success (9 questions), Learning for All (7 questions), and the Mathematics Curriculum Context (5 questions) before timed practice.
