Numbers and the four operations--addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division--is the foundation of math. This is called “basic math.” There are many different kinds of numbers such as whole numbers, decimals, percents, and fractions. Basic math also includes exponents and finding square roots of numbers.
Shapes are an integral part of math. The exam will ask questions about different types of shapes and how numbers relate to those shapes. Learn about circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones. Questions will ask you about the area and perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, and the volume and surface of three-dimensional shapes.
Algebra is an extension of basic mathematical concepts, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponents. The only difference is that algebra uses letters, called variables, in place of certain numbers. When this happens, you have algebraic expressions and equations. The exam will ask questions about simplifying algebraic expressions and solving equations. Simplifying algebraic expressions, solving equations and inequalities, using the Quadratic Formula
Functions have to do with inputs and outputs of numbers. To be able to demonstrate your understanding of functions, you need to know about the coordinate plane, basic graphs, function notation, and identifying functions. The exam will ask questions about all these aspects of functions.
