Passing Praxis: Understanding Praxis I Mathematics Test

Passing Praxis I Mathematics test (Computer and Paper) it is best to take a look at what you are getting yourself into.  Praxis I Math test is composed of 4 major areas in mathematics that you should have covered in Junior High and High School.  ETS -  Educational Testing Service states that " Pre-Professional Skills Test in Mathematics measures those mathematical skills and concepts that an educated adult might need.
It focuses on the key concepts of mathematics and on the ability to solve problems and to reason in a quantitative context."  However, understanding the arithmetic is just half the battle.  You must also know the mathematical language that will be used, such as area, perimeter (definition 3), ratio (definition 1), integer, factor (definition 2) and prime number. I will expose you to the different types of questions and language you must know. Below you will see that there are videos to help explain each key concept that will be covered in Praxis I Math test.

Area covered in the test are:
Number and  Operations consists of the following:

• Order
• Equivalence
• Numeration and Place Value
• Number Properties
• Operation Properties
• Computation
• Estimation
• Ratio, Proportion, and percent
• Numerical Reasoning

Algebra consists of the following:

• Equations and inequalities
• Algorithmic Thinking
• Patterns
• Algebraic Representation
• Algebraic Reasoning

Geometry and Measurement consists of the following:

•  Geometric Properties
• The xy-Coordinate Plane
• Geometric Reasoning
• Systems of Measurement
• Measurement

Data Analysis and Probability consists of the following:

• Data Interpretation
• Data Representation
• Trends and Inferences
• Measures of Center and Spread
• Probability

Since each of these categories so seem to be pretty "wordy" I suggest to look up the definition of the words to gain a better understanding of what is being asked of you.  If you need more exercises and work sheets to study please take a look at the Math section.  Do you have any suggestions or comments related to this topic? I would like to hear from you.
